The Museum is now closed to the public until April 2026.

However, we will be open on Tuesdays in December for late night shopping so do come and visit us then.

Volunteers are continuing behind the scenes work on Tuesdays and Fridays during the closed season. Behind the scenes work involves working with other people checking the items on display; checking, recording and packing objects in storage; taking photographs; collecting data, transcribing data - and

there's always cleaning to be done.

Instruction will be given.

If you're interested in any of  this, please email info@totnesmuseum.org

We'd love to welcome you

to our  group of volunteers!

  Do check the website and Instagram for up to date information. 

If you've visited and liked what you saw please leave a review on Trip Advisor or Instagram or Google !

The Museum is totally dependent on volunteers  and donations.

Dogs, other than assistance dogs, are not allowed in the Museum for several reasons. Sorry!

Hidden away behind the Museum is our lovely Garden. Reminiscent of an Elizabethan herb garden, this is a wonderful space to take a break or step away from town’s bustle.

Tended by the wonderful volunteers from Totnes Gardens, this is a fantastic place to come and enjoy nature.

Love Totnes? Enjoy heritage and history? Want experience in museums and heritage? 

Totnes Museum is a charitable trust and  without the help of our volunteers we can't open to the public.

Can you help?

There is something for everyone, from welcoming visitors as they come in to sterwarding, planning exhibitions and working with our collection to filing. Even cleaning!
