Volunteer with us!

Volunteers are a highly valued and appreciated part of our team; we wouldn’t be able to open our Museum 7 days a week without them. We are incredibly grateful for the time, energy and enthusiasm our volunteers offer at Leach pottery and we can be sure the Museum wouldn’t be the same without them.

We are always looking for new Volunteers to bring unique skills and a fresh perspective to our team. Everyone is welcome!

If you enjoy meeting new people, learning more about pottery and developing your skills, we would love to meet you.
