The Science and Industry Museum in Manchester is hosting a volunteering open event on Thursday 9 April from 11.00–13.00, offering visitors the chance to discover how they can help operate and demonstrate thge historic machines that powered Manchester’s industries.
The museum is particularly seeking Volunteer Historic Machinery Operators, who will work alongside its expert Technical Services team to bring these engines and machines to life for visitors by supporting with live demonstrations and conversations about how they work and their impact. The museum’s volunteer programme plays a key role in making sure that knowledge isn’t lost, while also inspiring a new generation of engineers, makers, and creators. Katie Powell, Volunteer Manager at the museum, said: “Nothing inspires our visitors quite like seeing our historic machinery in motion. By volunteering with us, you’ll help bring these extraordinary machines to life, share their stories, and inspire the next generation of innovators.”
