RAMM is celebrating National Volunteering Week with a selection of its volunteer-led activities for all the family. Volunteers at RAMM today are sharing their knowledge and enthusiasm for RAMM and its collections. Visitors can join one of the spotlight tours featuring different aspects of the displays, handle a range of artefacts, try on costumes or take part in family activities.

Sharing their knowledge and enthusiasm: RAMM has around 120 volunteers who support the museum in many ways across all departments. If you are interested in volunteering with RAMM, email ramm.volunteer@exeter.gov.uk or visit the volunteer section on RAMM’s website.
