Norton Priory Museum & Gardens is managed by the Norton Priory Museum Trust Limited, a charitable trust dedicated to preserving and providing access to the ruins, gardens and collections to as wide an audience as possible.

We seek to delight, educate and inspire visitors, and aim to offer the highest standards of customer care. Norton Priory Museum & Gardens does this through education and community programmes, research in partnership with universities, and through the delivery of family events all year round. By visiting Norton Priory Museum & Gardens, you become a part of our story and help to protect the unique objects and landscape that we look after.

The Trustees of Norton Priory Museum Trust Limited work together with the staff team at the museum to deliver a first-class visitor attraction, working in partnership with Halton Borough Council and other local organisations to look after the site and its collection for today’s visitors and future generations. As a charitable trust, our income generation is vital to being able to continue the work of the Trust and the Board of Trustees works to ensure the long-term future of the site. We always welcome enquiries from people of all ages and backgrounds who would like to be involved as a Trustee.

Norton Priory Museum Trust Limited - Trustee Recruitment

Norton Priory Museum Trust Limited, the independent charitable trust which operates Norton Priory Museum and Gardens, is seeking new Trustees to help Norton Priory Museum and Gardens to widen its appeal and to reach new, more diverse audiences.

Norton Priory has a proven track record as a visitor attraction and as a venue for education, visual and performing arts, including music, horticulture and ecology, mindfulness and meditation. The museum and its grounds are a popular wedding venue and we are developing our offering as a place for corporate meetings and conferences.

At present, the Trust has particular needs for trustees with skills and experience in financial management, HR, IT and fundraising. We would also particularly welcome people from the local area to ensure our future direction is shaped by community voice.

The Board recognises that there is a need to improve its own diversity and reach to better reflect the communities Norton Priory serves. If you are interested in exploring this opportunity further, please complete the enquiry form.
