Afraid of heights?

Don’t worry – most of our volunteering is at ground level!

The Museum depends on voluntary help to run the museum.

It involves a range of tasks – working alone or in groups – but always part of a wider team.

Fixing and improving the buildings, looking after our archive and collection, sewing, gardening and planning events.

The list is endless.

The winter is a great time to come and join us – we’ll be busy and we will be planning get togethers to help plan ahead and get to know one another.

Volunteering helps us “do our bit” for the town caring for two historic buildings and sharing its unique heritage link with Samuel Wilderspin.

It’s good for us too – being part of our Wilderspin Team, a recipient of the Queens’ Award for Volunteering!

Ring (01652) 635172 or email wilderspinschoolmuseum@gmail.com to “get the ball rolling”.

Swedenborgianism and Samuel Wilderspin

Samuel Wilderspin’s Swedenborgian faith shaped his System of Infant schooling in the early 1800s.

1.30pm – 3.30pm, Admission £4.

Pre lecture refreshments & viewing of the Wilderspin Infant School from 12.30pm
