Learn more about volunteering in our exhibition space, including a spotlight talk from one of our passionate guides.
Our recently opened exhibition, Becoming Shakespeare, uses items from our collection and immersive digital content to explore influences on the playwright from the world of Stratford-Upon-Avon.
You can be part of the experience through greeting visitors and providing extra detail about the objects. In this volunteering taster session, you will:
- Meet one of our current Exhibition Volunteers for a spotlight talk on their favourite collection item
- Have a go at greeting visitors yourself, with your guide there to support you
- Finish with a self-guided tour of the exhibition and house
Spaces are limited, so please book your free slot early to avoid disappointment.
We will ask for an email address and phone number so that we can contact you after the session to find out how your experience was.
This opportunity is for those aged 18 and over only. We do have other opportunities for work experience on our website.
If you decide you would like to apply as a volunteer after your taster session, we will explain how this works. You will need to follow our application process, with ID and referencing checks.
