Newtown Textile Museum

    a place with a future

There are several ways in which you can help support the museum SO we can secure our future:

You can join our team of volunteers if you live locally, 

simply make a donation     or

if you can make your donation into a regular payment 

become aN NTM Friend 

You probably know that the Newtown Textile Museum is an independent museum, managed and run entirely by volunteers. We are enthusiastic and dedicated but we need to grow our team so we need your help.

Volunteering at the Museum - what we do.

Each day Newtown Textile Museum is open two volunteer hosts run the museum. Our first job is to get the museum ready to receive visitors to Newtown's number one tourist attraction- we get visitors from all over. We turn on displays, switch on lights, open blinds, unlock doors and put signage out. We welcome visitors, do our best to answer questions, guide people around if they need it and encourage feedback.

We look after the reception area and the little shop- very popular! We keep records of visitor numbers, report any issues, and look after security.

If there's school visit or a weaving demonstration we will be on hand to help out. There's time to eat lunch, have a coffee and a chat and of course, to catch up with a bit of local history ourselves.

What our volunteer hosts say:

• ' Proud to show visitors this local history gem, always an enjoyable experience'
• 'As a new host I was welcomed to the team very warmly. Now looking forward to my second hosting season'

Email us at this address if you would like to join our team. There is plenty to do in the winter as well.
