Volunteering Opportunities

There are many, probably hundreds of volunteering roles at any heritage railway. The K&ESR is no different but rather than trying to list them all we will post here those which relate to a specific task or project, or those that might require a specific skill set.

Below these you’ll also find a volunteer registration form which if these role(s) don’t appeal you can let us know which department you’re interested in or even that you’re just interested in helping and would like someone to show you around on an introduction day.
