Volunteering

Our volunteers are a big part of what we do at Hull Museums. They take on all sorts of roles from conservation to gallery support, to guided tours. 

  • Last year volunteers gave over 3000 hours to Hull Museums –  thanks!
  • This month, volunteers are involved in eight different activities across the museums.

We’re so grateful to all our volunteers for sharing their knowledge and passion for heritage with our visitors. If you’re interested in becoming a volunteer, here are a few ways you can get involved.
