Working on our event days and quieter 'non-event' days, for any of these roles you will get training in use of the equipment and tills and we'll place you with an experienced volunteer to learn the ropes. In the cafe you will be serving hot and cold drinks, sandwiches, chocolate and crisps etc.

When: April - October, Saturdays and Sundays between 11am and 4pm (or later if busy). School Holiday Wednesdays between 11am and 4pm. You can volunteer for one day a month or more depending on your free time.

Hall Guides during school holidays

Working on school holiday Wednesdays and Saturdays days, your task is to show the visitors into certain designated vehicles and to guide them away from the more delicate exhibits!

When: April - October, Saturdays and Wednesdays between 11am and 4pm during School Holidays. You can volunteer for one day a month or more depending on your free time.

Guides for School and Group Visits

Help us to give a great experience to children and groups who visit the museum. Full training will be given.

Driving & Conducting

We currently have quite a few drivers, however if you have a current PCV licence and a valid driver CPC we can add you to our list. Conductors/Guards are also welcome, you just need to be friendly with the public and we'll show you what to do! All our drivers also contribute to the running of the museum in other volunteer ways.

Engineers & Working on Vehicles

If you are an experienced engineeer, mechanic or fitter, or have experience of bodywork restoration and you are capable of working unsupervised, then we'd love to hear from you. BUT, Please note we do not have the facility to train new volunteers in this specialist area.

Other Skills

Running the museum requires a lot of diverse skills, from cleaning and keeping the place tidy right through to managing, marketing and fund raising. If you have any skills that could use to help look after the museum then please get in touch at volunteer@wythall.org.uk
