Please note: The museum is currently closed until the new Operating Model

is being established.

The Friends of the Falconer Museum is the long-standing volunteer group that aids the museum in all aspects of work. The workforce of volunteers help to maintain the collections housed within the museum.

When the museum is open, the Friends meet regularly in the Museum Store. The Friends all have different work that they take part in, depending on individual interests, skills, and curiosity. We have volunteers helping with cataloguing, cleaning of artifacts, copying and rearranging of files, and fixing, maintaining, and making items for new and permanent exhibits. Volunteers can welcome visitors and give tours. It all depends on what volunteer might be interested in and want to learn.

The Friends of the Falconer Museum meet in the Museum Store, making full use of the museum lab and fully functional workshop.

The Friends welcome all new skills and help to assist the smooth running of the museum. That’s not all they do, the Friends also arrange for special guest speakers to come and do demonstrations and talks for the group. Without the help of these treasured volunteers, we would not be able to do the many wonderful activities and exhibits that the museum hosts.
