read moreWe need additional volunteers (museum guides and counter staff) to help extend the museum's opening hours. We currently open Friday's, Saturday's and Sundays from Easter to the end of October with additional days for Bank Holidays. You would be provided with full training and uniform and would work alongside existing team members. The hours are from 09.30 to 18.00. Own transport is essential due to our location at Carlisle Airport. You can volunteer as much time as you like but most volunteers work a couple of days per month.

Discover Britain's part in the Space Race and the story behind the testing of the ill fated Blue Streak rocket program. Our superb display of rocket engines and model of the rocket launch facility at RAF Spadeadam on the windswept Gilsland fells, chronicles a little known episode in Britain's recent history.
