Events Volunteer
We’re looking for volunteers to provide support with running our events programme.
This is a great opportunity for someone who only has a short amount of time but wants to contribute to the successful running of Museum events. Maybe you are able to set up the activities before the event, or perhaps you have a few hours to help on the day.
We’re looking for volunteers who enjoy working with the public and who are comfortable talking to families of all ages and backgrounds.
What’s involved?
In this role you will:
- Provide support on pre-event days (Friday, Saturday, Sunday morning)
- Help setting up the event car park
- Help setting up event areas, pay desk, gazebos, barriers and other related activities
- Provide support on the event day (generally on a Sunday)
- Reception pay desk; car park assistance; support Museum specific stalls (eg raffle prize stall); putting out road signage.
- Provide support after the event
- On a Sunday assist with clearing up and putting away equipment
- On a Tuesday after the event clear up and turn all items to their appropriate storage area.
Why get involved?
- Receive a short induction relevant to the role, including health and safety
- One day free entry at any Museum event for you and a friend
- Have new experiences, meet people with similar interests and be part of a team
- Participate in monthly team meetings
- Access to other volunteering projects and opportunities at the Museum
We are looking for someone who is:
- Enthusiastic about the Museum and its collections
- Friendly, approachable and welcoming to people of all ages and backgrounds
- Patient, calm and engages children of all ages from toddler to teen
- Keen to volunteer as part of a team
- In good physical health (stewarding involves sustained standing and some lifting; manual handling training will be provided).
- Please note that some events take place inside and some take place outside in the Museum grounds.
What is the time commitment?
You can choose to volunteer for as little or as much time as you want for one or more of our events. More information about the content of these events will be posted on our website when it is available. https://www.museumofpower.org.uk/whats-on-2026/
