Volunteers in this role will be added to the Events Volunteer Register. When a volunteering opportunity arises, an email will be sent out to the Register.

Why the Museum of Classical Archaeology needs this role:
The Museum runs a programme of regular events for adults and children, enabling us to engage with thousands of people every year. Help is sought for a variety of tasks, all of which contribute to the smooth running of events.

An events volunteer may to commit to helping as much as s/he is able to by responding to as many or as few opportunities as s/he likes from those which are advertised to the Events Volunteer Register.
