Totnes Museum

We are looking for people to join our dedicated team of Trustees.

Do you have a experience of being a Trustee with other organisations?

Do you have professional museum experience and expertise?

Do you think strategically?

Do you have time to give to help us thrive?

We are looking for Trustees with these qualities who are also willing to be very hands on.

If you are interested in being a Trustee please contact our Chair of Trustees: chair@totnesmuseum.org

We look forward to hearing from you!

Volunteers encourage visitors in, greet with a welcoming smile, show how the bell works, clean the windows, work as a team, explain things, polish the display cases, audit the collection, chat to visitors, carry out research, write labels, file things, find things, vacuum the floors, ask questions, dust, answer questions, encourage donations, use the till, make everyone feel as though their visit was worthwhile, have a great time. Why not join us?

Totnes Museum is reliant on the hard work of a range of wonderful volunteers. We have a fantastic team and there's a real sense of everyone working together, but we could do with more people to help us open more often. You don't need any experience of museums - just an interest in being part of this one. You can volunteer for a morning or an afternoon or both! Whatever suits you. 

There are many roles we need help with especially front of house at the moment so we can open for as many days as we can over the summer.  

Interested? Call in to the Museum when we're open and have a chat or email: info@totnesmuseum.org

The Friends of Totnes Museum fundraises and provides essential support for the Museum to help ensure the continuation of the Museum for future generations to come.

Friends of Totnes Museum are rewarded with a variety of perks which includes free use of Totnes Archive!

Totnes Museum is free to enter but it relies on visitor donations. 

If you enjoyed your visit and forgot to donate or simply wish to show your support we are looking into ways of collecting donations online.

All support is greatly appreacted and goes a long way to keeping our doors open for future visitors to learn more about the wonderful town of Totnes.

Totnes Museum is run by the charity, Totnes Museum Trust whose charity number is 1191791.
