"You never really get used to the look on people's faces as they experience the feel of Tudor timbers, or the smell of pitch applied to rope before the birth of Shakespeare. Being part of that experience is what makes your day."
Simon, volunteer since 2007
"My day can be very varied, I might lead an adult group on a tour of the Museum, guide a family visiting for a birthday celebration or demonstrate to a class of enthusiastic children how to fire a Tudor cannon. My standard day is never dull!!"
Tony, volunteer since 2013
"I love helping with the children’s activities in the museum. We have fun events during the school holiday and have practised calligraphy, made our own Tudor tiles, pomanders and even designed our own model of the ship's dog Hatch!!"
Goli, volunteer since 2018
