Volunteer will be asked to commit to regular shifts on a weekly, fortnightly, or monthly basis during museum opening.  To be confirmed in advance on the volunteer rota.  The museum is open March to November each year, on Fridays and Saturdays, 10am – 3:30pm.  There are also occasional special events and evening pre booked Group Tours, that tour guide volunteers can help with.​​
