Membership

Become a Friend of The Canal Museum at Stoke Bruerne and be part of a special group supporting the work of the museum.

Join Us

Whatever your interest, your museum needs you to help to preserve our waterways heritage for all to enjoy.

There are a number of opportunities for volunteering at the Museum including guiding, lock-keeping, helping out in the cafe and shop, assisting with the Museum's boat Sculptor, maintaining the canalside and organising regular events. All volunteering is channelled directly through the Canal & River Trust. For more information - please go to our Volunteering page.

There are also opportunities to volunteer for the Friends as a trustee, minutes secretary, fundraiser, administrator, etc. For more information, please email the Chairman at chairman@friendsofcanalmuseum.org.uk
