We'll be open for the late night Christmas Market on 16th December from 3.30 until about 6.30 - maybe later depending on volunteers and visitors. Come and visit us!

The Museum shop is open too - come and buy a Pomander Kit (includes a free orange) a Museum pen, Christmas cards, and other curios 

and

there's a raffle for a rather splendid home-made Twelfth Night cake.

All proceeds go to the Museum!

After this event the Museum is closed to the public until 7th April 2026.

Volunteers are continuing behind the scenes work on Tuesdays and Fridays during the closed season. Behind the scenes work involves working with other people checking the items on display; checking, recording and packing objects in storage; taking photographs; collecting data, transcribing data - and

there's always cleaning to be done.

Instruction will be given.

If you're interested in any of  this, please email info@totnesmuseum.org

We'd love to welcome you

to our  group of volunteers!

Hidden away behind the Museum is our lovely Garden. Reminiscent of an Elizabethan herb garden, this is a wonderful space to take a break or step away from town’s bustle.

Tended by the wonderful volunteers from Totnes Gardens, this is a fantastic place to come and enjoy nature.

Love Totnes? Enjoy heritage and history? Want experience in museums and heritage? 

Totnes Museum is a charitable trust and  without the help of our volunteers we can't open to the public.

Can you help?

There is something for everyone, from welcoming visitors as they come in to sterwarding, planning exhibitions and working with our collection to filing. Even cleaning!
