Volunteer at Chippenham Museum

Our team of over 60 volunteers are the backbone of our museum. Their roles range from meeting and greeting our visitors to getting involved with looking after the collections.

The frequency of volunteering with the museum can vary to suit individual needs, ranging from taking part in occasional activities to volunteering for a couple of hours every week.

We are always happy to discuss your individual interests and ways in which you may like to volunteer within the team. Please visit the museum, call 01249 705020 or email heritage@chippenham.gov.uk if you would like to discuss anything relating to volunteer opportunities.

What we can offer:

  • Meeting new people as part of the Chippenham Museum volunteer team
  • Opportunities to develop new or existing skills eg customer service
  • References for future roles
  • Opportunities to assist with other volunteering roles and projects
  • Free parking and refreshments when volunteering
