Welcome to John Clare Cottage!
The historic home of John Clare – poet and early environmentalist
Our beautiful heritage site in North Cambridgeshire boasts a fascinating museum, a welcoming community café, gift shop, and gardens.
Everyone is welcome. Entry to the museum, housed in Clare’s former home, is ticketed — but the café, shop, and gardens are free to enjoy.
Volunteer Open Event – John Clare Cottage
Saturday 7th June | 3pm | Clare Cottage, Helpston
Come along to our Volunteer Open Event and find out how you can get involved at John Clare Cottage.
Volunteering with us is a great way to meet people, give back to your community and to protect and develop our heritage offer. We’re looking for friendly faces to join our team in the café, museum, gardens, and in other areas of our work – including behind-the-scenes roles and leadership opportunities.
There are weekly, fortnightly, and more occasional opportunities available – whatever time you can offer, it will make a difference.
Enjoy a relaxed afternoon with refreshments, meet our volunteers, and find out more. No pressure – just pop in for a chat.
