Volunteer with us

Filey Museum is seeking enthusiastic and dedicated volunteers to help with its next chapter.

Our museum is run entirely by volunteers, and your support is needed as we prepare to welcome visitors back to Filey’s oldest building.

We need your help with a variety of tasks, including:
• Curating, archiving and cataloguing: Assist with recording our collection of local artifacts both in the museum and on our website. Plus contribute to re-imagining and refreshing our exhibits.
• Cleaning and repairs: Assist with the care and maintenance of the museum’s items and displays.
• On-going operations: Support the day-to-day running of the museum once we reopen to the public including our shop (both in the museum & online).
• Communication: Help with our social media, newsletter and other PR.
Why volunteer with us?
• Make a difference: Play a crucial role in preserving Filey’s rich history for future generations.
• Join a team: Work with a friendly and dedicated group of people who share a passion for local history. Meet & greet, welcoming friends and visitors alike.
• Gain new skills: Get hands-on experience in a museum environment, from curation to conservation.
• Explore local history: Get a behind-the-scenes look at the town’s history and the stories of its people.
