Volunteering at the Museum
The Museum relies extensively on volunteers for various roles, including assisting at the Front Desk, managing the Model Railway, and interacting with our visitors during group visits!
Typically, our museum volunteering opportunities require volunteers to work once or twice a week for half a day. If you're interested in joining us and sharing your passion for vintage toys, we'd love to hear from you in the Message Box below!

School and Community Visits
Since opening, we've welcomed many primary school classes for group visits to our museum. During these visits, we provide quizzes and an age-appropriate presentation about a selection of vintage toys from our collection.
We also love to hear from other groups in the Sidmouth Community and beyond! Last July, we offered a private viewing to Sidmouth's Memory Café, an organization supporting those with dementia.
For those interested in museum volunteering or planning a private visit, group admissions charges are available. Please contact us below!
