Regular Help

Spark Cart Volunteer

Do you have a little bit of spare time during the week?

With the opening of our new museum exhibition ‘Lightbulb Moments’, we are introducing regular object handling drop-in sessions. This is a great opportunity to get hands-on with our heritage collections and develop new skills in artefact handling and public engagement.

The Spark Cart will be in the museum initially twice a month on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 11am-1pm but this is subject to change.

What's involved?

* Introducing artefacts linked to the new exhibition.

* Guiding visitors in safe handling of objects.

* Sharing information about the objects’ history, use, and context.

* Tailor the message for different audiences

*Training will be provided.

How to get involved?

Sign up to this challenge and a member of our Learning Team will be in contact with you to arrange an induction and training.
