Find out about opportunities to volunteer during the holidays and at special events.
Community Events Volunteer
Our Community Events Volunteers engage new audiences through supporting fun, interactive workshops at Bristol-based events, schools, festivals and at the SS Great Britain. Sign-up for at least five events each year in this varied, engaging role.
Sewing Volunteer
Our team of sewing volunteers make vital repairs and alterations to our Victorian costumes worn by visitors, school groups and our costumed volunteers. No previous experience of sewing is necessary. Sewing days take place at the SS Great Britain once every couple of months, and you can sign up on an ad hoc basis.
Easter Visitor Experience Volunteer
We have an exciting programme of events and activities planned this Easter and are looking for volunteers to help us bring the dockyard to life. You will be supporting our Visitor Experience team in welcoming, engaging and inspiring visitors during the busy Easter Holiday period.
Summer Heritage Intensive
Gain experience in the heritage sector through this intensive two week volunteering experience. You will be volunteering in our Library and Visitor Experience teams engaging the public with objects and stories.
Summer Visitor Experience Volunteer
Our team of Summer Visitor Experience Volunteers welcome visitors to the site, encourage people to try out some of the incredible interactives in our new Being Brunel Museum, take photos of visitors dressing up in Victorian costume, hand-out boarding cards as people climb on-board the ship and make sure everyone has a great time during our busy summer months. Volunteer at least one-day each week during July and August.
