Newark Town Hall Museum and Art Gallery is seeking new volunteers to join its friendly team, who are responsible for a variety of roles including welcoming visitors, supporting family learning, and collections care.<\/p>\n
Becky Fawcett, senior collections and exhibitions officer at Newark Town Hall, said: \u201cAs a volunteer you get to meet new people, learn new skills and be part of a friendly museum group. We have a small library to find out more about the history of Newark and local artists.<\/p>\n
