"Possibly the most productive weekday I've had in years!"
- A new "Moss Mobber"
Volunteers are at the heart of Norton Priory, helping with everything from gardening, to education sessions, to wildlife recording! Join us to learn about the ways volunteers support us, and whether you would like to join the Norton Priory team. Norton Priory is looking for volunteers to help with:
Gardening
Moss removal
Education and school visits
Greeting visitors
Craft activities
Events
Maintenance
... and more!
You'll be able to meet staff and volunteers from Norton Priory, and explore different volunteering roles. You might make a craft with the Events and Programming Officer, go for a tour of the garden with the Senior Gardener, or learn about finds from dig to display with our Senior Keeper!
Admission to the volunteering open day will be free from 3.30pm when booked online in advance. This will include access to the museum and the chance to join a tour of the Walled Garden at 4pm. Space on this tour will be limited, and available on a first-come-first-served basis.
