Become a Volunteer

We have a range of volunteering opportunities across the site, including roles working in the museum and in the gardens and grounds.

Volunteering is a wonderful chance to share skills and learn new ones, as well as being a great way to gain experience, or simply to meet new people and give something back to your local area.

You may like to help with gardening, welcoming visitors, education, events, art and crafts, collections management or something else!

Please be aware that some volunteering is day specific. Some roles require a DBS check, there is no charge to the volunteer for this process.

To apply to become a volunteer please complete the application form below including the email addresses of two referees.

If you are under 18 you may want to apply for work experience. As there is a high demand for placements we ask potential work experience students to write to the Volunteer and Digital Coordinator introducing themselves and explaining why they would like to complete a placement at Norton Priory by emailing helenhf@nortonpriory.org.

Please also include the dates of the placement you are requesting and the name of your school.
