About The Big Help Out

We are very proud of what we deliver and none of it would be possible without our volunteers.

On Monday 8 May, Watts Gallery - Artists' Village is taking part in The Big Help Out for National Volunteering Day.

We are always looking for additional talent to bring new skills and a fresh perspective to our team. Everyone is welcome to join the Watts family!

If you enjoy art and meeting new people, learning something new or developing your skills and opportunities, why not join our award-winning volunteer programme?

Visitors can sign up on the day or in advance to join us for coffee and a chat about how to become a volunteer steward here at the Gallery and at Limnerslease House and Studios.

11.30am – 12pm and 2 – 2.30pm in the Clore Studios

Participants will receive free entry to Watts Gallery on the day.
