Volunteering at St Seraphim’s

The Trust is looking for volunteers to support its work to maintain the garden and archives and help us keep them open to the public.

Since becoming a Trust in 2008, St Seraphim’s has catalogued its collection of icons and icon-making materials, developed its Quiet Garden and achieved Museum Accreditation Status. In January 2018 St Seraphim’s Trust was successful in gaining a Heritage Lottery Grant to move onto the next phase of work, which included refurbishing the icon gallery and developing the volunteer base to engage visitors with the beautiful collections.

Roles include:

  • Garden volunteers to help at events and open days
  • General Gardeners.
  • Gardening for wellbeing group meets at the garden, every Monday from 10.30am – 1.30am, unless raining. No gardening experience needed. Morning tea provided.
  • Volunteers to help with the opening and closing of the Chapel.
  • Cataloguing and Archiving Volunteers

If you are interested in any of these opportunities please contact us

Become a Friend of St Seraphim’s

Friends of St Seraphim’s support the activities of the Trust and the future developments at St Seraphim’s.

The Friends of St Seraphim’s has been formed in order to protect the important heritage of St Seraphim’s. The Chapel has been a central part of the development of Orthodox Christianity and Iconography in the country, and is regionally important as a ‘pilgrim station’, embodying both the industrial heritage of the area and the religious heritage of Walsingham. The Friends group is dedicated to raising funds to assist in the conservation of the Chapel, its Icon Gallery, Walsingham Station and its Pilgrimage heritage as well as making this available to the public.

Annual membership starts at £15. To become a Friend please download and complete the form and return to the address on the back of the leaflet.
