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!

We're sorry, but at the moment we can't offer opportunities to under 18s unless you're accompanied by an adult.
