What's onVisiting York Minster.
VisitThe opportunities to volunteer at the Minster are diverse, with roles ranging from Bell-ringers to Guides, Stewards to Flower Arrangers or Learning Volunteers. Our volunteers give varying amounts of time, starting at one or two hours a fortnight, and volunteer for many different reasons. These can include:
We welcome people from all age groups, backgrounds and faiths (or none) who are interested in giving some of their time on a regular basis. If you would be interested in joining our community, please see our current volunteering vacancies below.
Information Desk
Are you a welcoming face? Would you happy to be in the Minster and answer the public’s questions? We have slots available on the information desk, where you will be a point of reference to our 500, 000 visitors a year. No two days are the same, one day you can looking for a monument of someone’s ancestor and another you can be trying to locate the ‘Mousey Thompson’ Mice.
If you are interested please have a closer look at the role description here and complete an application form.
Undercroft Volunteer
Do you love history? Helping people to understand the story of England, and the role that York Minster played in this? Then come and help in our Undercroft museum, where we discuss the rich 2000 year history of the site. We have Roman remains on show to the public where you can bring to life the lives of the centurions who inhabited York (Eboracum). The Anglo-Saxon and Vikings are also brought to life with various artefacts such as the Horn of Ulf. We then talk about the development of religion, the Minster and the people with whom it has become intertwined. The York Gospels have survived fire and flood for 2000 years and we like their story to be told as a finale to the Museum.
