Ulster Museum Data Capture Volunteer
Ulster Museum receives 400-500k visitors per year! Understanding these visitors, their experiences, motivations and expectations is a crucial part of National Museums NI’s activities. Data capture information is collected from visitors and the survey results help us to continually improve our visitor experience. It is from this feedback that we learn what our visitors want and what they expect. We are looking for volunteers to help us achieve these valuable insights by providing a warm and friendly welcome and actively engaging with visitors across the welcome area, admissions desk and galleries inviting them to participate in a survey about their experience and motivations.

The Green Gym at Cultra, Ulster Folk Museum
The Green Gym at the Ulster Folk Museum is a great way to learn new skills, meet new people and help restore our cottage gardens to produce the heritage fruit and vegetables that they would have 100 years ago.
In partnership with The Conservation Volunteers’ we host a “Green Gym” session at the Folk Museum every Friday. Check out our video below to see how the project is transforming our heritage gardens as well as the impact it has on those who volunteer.
