Begin the evening, on Friday, July 3, with a warm welcome from the Chairman of the Management Committee and the Volunteers Coordinator, followed by an exclusive guided tour of the museum.

Step into history with a short introduction to our 2026 exhibition, Imagined Geographies and First Encounters, presented by Exhibitions Officer Chris Needham in the attic - the very room where Captain Cook once lodged.

Hear from current volunteers as they share their experiences, and enjoy a relaxed evening with wine and nibbles while exploring the many ways you can get involved.

This event has limited capacity to ensure a personalised experience for all attendees.

It is on from 6.30pm to 8.30/9pm.
