AN historic site and tourist attraction in Worcester's picturesque Friar Street is appealing for more volunteers to keep it up-and-running.

Tudor House is run by Worcester Heritage & Amenity Trust (WHAT), which was formed in 2004 in order to keep the historic building open to the public.

Since then, a local history exhibition has been created and there is also a coffee room providing refreshment for visitors.

It is entirely staffed by volunteers and more are now needed to ensure the successful operation of the building.

"Volunteers for the exhibition need an interest in history, heritage or the local environment, a desire to meet people, enthusiasm and a bit of time to spare," said Helen Wallis.

"Volunteers for the coffee room are also needed to make refreshments and to provide a warm welcome. All ages are welcome and full training is provided."

Volunteer Libby Cutler said: "Volunteering provides a great opportunity to chat with people, tell them of Worcester's history and share memories," she said.

Anyone interested should contact Helen Wallis on 01905 759344.
