Crossbones is opened thanks to the generosity of Volunteer Wardens who give their time to open up the site to the public as well as being a welcoming and informational presence during the opening hours. This opportunity is ideal for those who have a keen interest in history and conservation. We have many visitors that travel to this unique and emotive site and want to create an engaging and memorable time for our visitors. A detailed knowledge of the site is not required, but wardens need to be able to answer basic questions about Crossbones or know where to direct inquiries they cannot answer
We welcome applications from anyone who wants to get involved, previous gardening, wardening or volunteering experience is not required. Tasks are suited to all levels of fitness and needs and we endeavour to make our volunteering opportunities accessible for all. A detailed knowledge of the site is not required; however, wardens need to feel confident talking to the public and answering basic questions about Crossbones or know where to direct enquiries that they cannot answer. A keen interest in history and to provide an engaging time for our visitors is welcomed.
The role is a great opportunity to learn about the history and significance of this very special place, whilst teaching others about it's unique standing in history.
We need at least 2 people each day in order to open and sessions last for 2 hours. We are currently open Wednesday-Sunday from 12pm-2pm however we are also looking to open outside of these hours to ensure that Crossbones is open to the public as much as possible.
