Have you got some spare time and are thinking of volunteering in 2025? Then take a look at the three volunteer groups you could get involved with at Hurst Castle.
The Friends of Hurst Castle are a proactive local community group engaged in various activities, from assisting with improving the castle and it's artefacts to welcoming visitors and funding ongoing projects.
Finally there's a small team from the Association of Lighthouse Keepers, who voluntarily contribute their ideas for new lighthouse-related displays for visitors whilst also taking care of the refurbishment and maintenance of the two Lighthouse Museum Rooms.
If you are interested in any of the volunteer groups and you would like to find out some more information then please contact the Friends of Hurst Castle in the first instance; contact details can be found on the website: www.hurstcastle.co.uk/friends-of-hurst-castle.
