Museum and School Visits
The museum is a fascinating venue for school visits. With plenty to see and do your students will not be disappointed. By prior arrangement, goodie bags can be arranged from as little as £1.00 from the Gift Shop.
The museum offers a vast range of activities. Each activity session last for 45 minutes and accommodates a maximum of 30 students. They involve groups actively in doing, making or building, using historic techniques.
Sessions are run either on site or in the dedicated teaching centre using models, slides, historic objects and materials to recreate the past.
Volunteering at Avoncroft
Avoncroft Museum is a voluntary based non-profit making organisation and has been assisted by a large team of volunteers since it was founded in 1964. Some of those volunteers have helped for decades, others a few months or years. All applications are welcomed and volunteers come from many walks of life.
Volunteers assist the museum in many ways, such as stewarding during opening hours and talking with the visitors, as well as mucking in with maintenance, conservation and gardening; so there is something for everyone.
If you would like to volunteer and would like a volunteering application pack, then please contact administration at Avoncroft Museum. Full training and support is given along with out of pocket expenses and refreshments.
