Pendle Heritage Centre
This position is to cover the morning slot of 10am -12 noon, the role includes opening the museum and shop, serving customers, answering phone calls and taking in shop deliveries. We also have many tours join us during the week and it is a nice opportunity to speak with visitors not from the area. We have three volunteers who actively work in the position at various times of the week.
Pendle Heritage Centre is a museum and visitor centre nestled in the heart of Barrowford. We are home to a museum on the Bannister family, including Rodger Bannister who ran the 4 min mile and Nicholas Bannister the infamous magistrate who sat on the bench that condemned the Pendle Witches, which you can also learn about. We have a 60 seat heritage cafe, garden hub, 18th Century Walled garden and Woodland walk, gated gardens and grounds. We also boast a wide range range of gifts , souvenirs and artwork over three rooms in our beautiful shop. All funds raised help keep this vital asset that is the start of Pride of Pendle running for future generations. We have 15 paid members of staff and 13 active volunteers, who are vital to our success.
Full training is given, however customer service or till operation knowledge would be good.
