If you are friendly, and confident in meeting new people, then this is an ideal role for you. We need people to join the team to cover Front of House. This role involves chatting to visitors, helping to open and close the museum, assisting with enquiries, selling items from the museum shop via contactless payments, and generally ensuring that all our visitors have a great experience. The commitment is usually 2 days per month, either as half or full days. You do not need to have a vast knowledge of the regimental history as information sheets and training are provided.
We currently have some very hard-working volunteers who keep the lawn mowed and the rose beds tidy and weeded. We would love to have some more green-fingered people on the team to help them. If you would like to garden but do not have your own space, then come along and help in ours.
We receive many inquiries from people trying to research their family history, and we are struggling to keep up with demand. If you are computer literate, and able to investigate a variety of sources, both online and in the archives, and think this sounds interesting, then do let us know.
If you are interested in any of these projects, please email the museum on museum@royalhampshireregiment.org stating which project you are interested in, and why. Thank you.
Work Experience – 2024
Unfortunately we are unable to take any more Work Experience placements in 2023 as we are at full capacity.
We can offer work experience for 1 or 2 weeks to A-Level or university students. The work experience will involve a range of tasks to show the operation of a small independent museum, and will cover collections work, exhibitions, research, administration and retail. As the museum is small, we can only take 1 student at a time.
Please email the museum on museum@royalhampshireregiment.org to inquire about dates for 2024.
