Volunteering at Royal Cornwall Museum

* Please note that due to the popularity of our Volunteer Programme, we are not looking for any new volunteers at present.  

At Royal Cornwall Museum, our team is supported by a group of dedicated volunteers who we simply couldn’t function without. Volunteers are essential to the life of the museum and hugely enhance our visitor experience.
Responsibilities include welcoming, aiding and engaging with visitors around the museum and helping to maintain health and safety throughout the galleries. Volunteers can also get involved with assisting during evening events and community engagement. Volunteering with us is a great way to build your skillset, meet new people and expand your knowledge of local history.
If you’re interested, please check back regularly as we are likely to be recruiting volunteers again from Spring 2025.

Work Experience

We accept a limited number of work experience slots on a first-come first-served basis. Applications for work experience slots for Spring/Summer 2025 are now closed, with all availability filled for the year ahead.

Please check back for 2026 opportunities, and thank you for your interest in work experience at the museum.
