Volunteer With Us
Over the past few years, our popular family visitor attraction has been expanding and developing. This is down to the time, commitment and efforts of our fabulous volunteer team. At Ribble we know our volunteers make a difference and we care about our volunteers.
Why Volunteer? Are you looking to do something in your spare time? Or do you want to develop new skills and experiences? Maybe you want to share your talents, knowledge and experience? Meet new friends?

Volunteering is a fabulous way to keep fit and well whatever your age, from 18- 80 years! Here at Ribble Steam Railway and Museum we can offer you great opportunities, in our unique working heritage railway and museum. Imagine training to be a Loco Driver, Fireman or Guard? Or join our energetic Front of House (FOH) team and try out your talents in catering, retail and museum. Training and support will be given.
You can learn from more experienced volunteers, in all industry sectors including retail, engineering, marketing, finance, museum and collections, education, customer services, catering or operations.
If you are interested in joining our operational team, please do be aware that due to the safety critical nature of the roles, candidates will be subject to medical and practical assessments for all roles. It takes time and dedication to build the skills and experience to safely operate a railway, and these roles may not be suitable for all.
Talk to us and together let’s find some great opportunities to grow and learn have fun and build friendships.
