Volunteering Open Day - Anne Hathaway’s Cottage and Brook Arts Hub

A chance to find out about volunteering at Anne Hathaway’s Cottage and Brook Arts Hub in Shottery

Meet current volunteers and observe a typical day in these neighbouring attractions in Shottery.

Did you know that the Brook Arts Hub is right next door to Anne Hathaway’s Cottage in Shottery?

We’re opening the doors of both locations for a morning or afternoon session on Friday 20 March so you can learn about volunteering at either (or both!) places.

Find out whether a museum setting or an arts hub might be the perfect place for you to volunteer! We will be armed with tea and biscuits and look forward to meeting you.

Please find the schedule below as follows:

Morning session:

  • 10:30 - 11.30 - Anne Hathaway’s Cottage, group discussion and tour with current volunteers
  • 11.30 - 12.30 - Brook Arts Hub, observe an origami workshop and experience a tour of the space

Afternoon session:

  • 13:30 - 14:30 - Anne Hathaway’s Cottage, group discussion and tour with current volunteers
  • 14:30 - 15:30 - Brook Arts Hub, observe a portrait-painting workshop and experience a tour of the space

There are up to 10 spaces available for either session, so book your free ticket soon to avoid disappointment. 

Please note that this experience is for those aged 18 and over only. For alternative opportunities please visit our work experience page.
