After 6 years of re-development, Brighton Dome Corn Exchange reopened to the public this Summer. From November onwards, we plan to showcase this beautiful building and its history to the public and are recruiting room guide volunteers to ensure that visitors are welcomed and provided with a knowledgeable and friendly experience.
You will be providing short tours and talks about the history of the Corn Exchange; this could incorporate a special interest of your own, such as architecture, women’s suffrage, musical history, and regency history. We will be developing guides and talking point materials as a group so that you have information that you can refer to whilst volunteering.
Recruitment for the Heritage Welcome Volunteer team is now closed. We will be reopening recruitment at the end of January 2024. If you are interested in volunteering with us in 2024 please contact us at heritagevolunteers@brightondome.org and we will add you to a waiting list to be contacted when new opportunities arise.
Many thanks for your interest in volunteering at Brighton Dome and Brighton Festival. We hope to see you soon
