Summary
Welcome volunteers greet visitors as they arrive at Wymondham Abbey. It's a key role that helps to ensure everyone who visits has the best possible experience.Detailed description
Wymondham Abbey is a magnificent building with a fascinating history that has been at the heart of our community for over 900 years. Every year thousands of people come through its doors. Our welcomers greet visitors and guide them towards the many outstanding historical features. Of course some visitors just wish to sit quietly, pray or light a candle, others come in to visit our shop that is located within the Abbey.
The Abbey is open Monday - Saturday from 10.00am to 4.00pm (5.00pm in the Summer) and Sunday afternoons. Welcome volunteer shifts are usually for two hours and we ask for a minimum commitment of 4-6 hours per month. Full training and support is provided.
Many people volunteer at Wymondham Abbey in lots of different roles. On joining the welcome desk team you will become part of a larger community who all work towards making the Abbey a warm and welcoming place to visit, and a rewarding environment to volunteer in.
