What the role will involve

We’re looking for attentive and reliable volunteers to support the Joan Eardley exhibition at the Granary Gallery.

This role is about being present in the space, observing visitor behaviour, and ensuring the exhibition is enjoyed respectfully and safely.

No previous experience is required, but an interest in galleries and a strong sense of responsibility are important.

We aim to keep volunteering flexible. You can sign up for one or more sessions per week depending on your availability.
