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.
