The Museum is looking for helping hands!

North Somerset Museum is looking for some special volunteers to help staff with day to day tasks during school holidays.

The volunteer Gallery Helpers will help keep the public areas of the museum tidy, making sure that the interactive areas are ready for use and helping visitors in the galleries.

If you would like to take part or find out more about the Gallery Helpers scheme contact the museum.  

North Somerset Museum in Weston-super-Mare tells the story of the district through the objects in our care. 

We offer a range of heritage services including:

  • collecting objects which tell the story of North Somerset
  • making those objects and their stories available to you via our exhibitions and events
  • caring for the objects to help preserve them for the present and future generations
  • recording information about each object to help build the public awareness of the district and its past
  • inviting you to send us information to build our knowledge of North Somerset and answer any questions through our new Notes and Queries service

We also run a cafe and shop, which sells a variety of gifts including a wide range of prints, postcards, books and CDs telling you about the history of North Somerset.

In addition we provide a wide range of direct services for you including:

  • conference facilities
  • information searches from our extensive local history files
  • heritage talks on North Somerset  
  • writing publications and leaflets on local history
  • providing special access to our collections for study and research
  • providing venues for hire for parties.

We also have specialist staff to help with queries you may have concerning archaeology, social and local history, and natural history.
