Volunteers provide support in a front of house role by:

• Providing information about the building, the exhibitions, and events
• Helping us run the exhibition shop

Shift patterns:
• Volunteer shifts correspond to the opening times of the exhibition (11am – 6pm) and are split into morning and afternoon shifts
• We are closed on Mondays
• We are open late on Wednesdays (9pm) and close early on Sundays (4.30pm)
• We ask volunteers to commit to a minimum of one shift per week, however we are happy to discuss individual needs and therefore encourage applications from everyone
• Each shift includes a 20-minute break (tea, coffee, and biscuits are provided)
