Bampton Heritage and Visitor Centre offers you a warm welcome. We are a family friendly and accessible site where you can explore our rich history through objects, information boards, short videos and virtual tours.

For younger visitors, play our touch screen computer game, play our quoits, cup and ball, and spinning top games, and our children's quiz, or dress up and tell stories of life in Bampton's past.

One of our key aims is to show and share our rich heritage with residents and visitors of all ages. We are also a Tourist Information Point and can provide you with or signpost you to a range of information to help make the most of your visit.

	Bampton Heritage and Visitor Centre is looking to recruit Trustees to join their friendly Trustees' Team who, with the help of all the Volunteers, lead the Centre. Whilst there are the routine business matters to deal with, Trustees are encouraged to pick up and run with their particular area of interest as they settle into the work. In particular we are looking for someone with the skills to become the Trustee with an interest in all things Digital and another who will take over the finances and become the Treasurer. Just to give an idea of what those roles might look like and to give an idea of the general Trustees work you will find two role descriptions linked below. Of course, as with any voluntary posts, the roles are negotiable to fit with your interests and available time. If you are interested in joining our Ttustees' Team please get in touch. The posts are not onerous and the Trustees like to have fun and enjoy their work as well as getting to grips with serious matters like strategic plans and governance. If you would like to know more please contact the BHVC Secretary, Chris Price, on Secretary@bamptonheritage.onmicrosoft.com Digital Trustee Role Desciption 2025 Treasurer Role Desciption 2025
