About Volunteer Training

Saturday 8 & Sunday 9 June 2024
11-11.30 and 2.00-2.30pm

If you enjoy art and meeting new people, learning something new or developing your skills and opportunities, why not join our award-winning volunteer programme?

We're seeking people to help in the Historic Galleries and Limnerslease: Artists' Home during our opening hours. You do not need any prior knowledge.

You will welcome visitors, answer queries, and develop and share your knowledge about George and Mary Watts, their life, home, and practice. Free ongoing training is provided.

We have monthly welcome sessions for new volunteers. To book a place, please call us on 07990 954 408 or email volunteers@wattsgallery.org.uk or pop into the Visitor Centre and ask for the Duty Manager – we can chat to you about what is involved and give you a chance to explore the Gallery.
