SHAKESPEARE BIRTHPLACE TRUST
The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust is the world's leading charity in promoting the works, life and times of William Shakespeare.
The Trust is looking for Volunteer Archaeologists to assist with the ‘Dig for Shakespeare’ project, an excavation of the remains of Shakespeare’s final home.
‘Dig for Shakespeare’ is run by the Trust and Birmingham Archaeology. The project began in 2010 and will run until early November 2012. Archaeologists, assisted by volunteers, are excavating the remains of New Place, Shakespeare’s final home, which was demolished in the 18th Century.
The excavation takes place in front of visitors, so volunteers will have the opportunity to chat to them about the dig and to answer questions.
No archaeological experience is required but an interest in archaeology or Shakespeare would be useful. Some tasks require physical fitness and you will need good people skills.
Commitment: Volunteer opportunities are currently available at weekends only. A regular commitment would be advantageous; either a morning, afternoon or full day per week or fortnight would assist us with planning the project.
Weekday shifts are full at present but places are available on our reserve list. Reserves are called upon ‘as and when’ slots become available, for example if another volunteer is away.
Length of project: Monday 26th March until the Sunday 4th November 2012
Benefits: Volunteers who join our friendly team will have the opportunity to gain valuable experience, learn new skills, make friends and attend a variety of special events/training, including tours, theatre trips, talks and workshops.
They will also be able to claim reasonable travel expenses at our published agreed rates.
