As many museums say, volunteering is at the heart of everything we do here. At Chapel Bay Fort & Museum that is the whole truth as we have no paid staff, we are all volunteers!
Our volunteers contribute to the work of the Museum and its operation in every way with roles encompassing everything that we do, from engaging with visitors in the Museum or on guided tours, cataloguing, conservation of objects, preparation of displays, site maintenance to working in The Cookhouse café.

“Volunteering is FUN! I love bringing the site alive to visitors.”
