Museum Stewards

Maldon Museum in the Park tells the stories of the people, places and events of Maldon District and is run entirely by a dedicated team of volunteers. We’d love for you to join us!

Our stewards are the face of the museum, greeting visitors on their arrival and helping them to get the best experience possible.

No previous museum experience?

No need to worry. All you need is enthusiasm and a willingness to get involved. Volunteering with us is a fantastic way to meet new people, learn new skills, and give back to your local community — all while being part of a friendly and passionate team.
