Opportunity to work in our onsite shop here at Rockaway Park which sells our own Rockaway merchandise and a variety of art work by resident and local artists.
Come join the Rockaway Team by volunteering in our on-site shop which sells our own Rockaway merchandise (to help fund the good work we do here in our community) as well as art by resident, local and further afield creatives.
This is a great opportunity to join our friendly team helping to provide information to visitors, sign posting attractions on site and taking payments for shop purchases.
The shop is open 7 days a week 10:00 - 17:00 and volunteer hours can be flexible to suit you.
As with any other shop there are busy and quiet times and as such we are also open to the idea of you using the shop as a 'co-working' space so that you can get on with your own work during the quieter periods.

About Rockaway Park
Rockaway Park is a unique, immersive and inspiring rural community hub: a safe, inclusive and creative shared space where people connect, collaborate and build relationships. It is part DIY utopia, part multi-disciplinary arts space, part venue and home to a community of diverse and interdependent creative talents.
The unique and innovative environment features artists’ studios, a community forest garden, vegan café, live music and performance venues, a rehearsal studio and sculpture park. These spaces are enriched with a vast collection of ‘rescued’, built or found artworks, curiosities and ephemera, preserving cultural materials that might otherwise be lost and celebrating forms of social and creative heritage that are often overlooked.
At the heart of Rockaway Park is a belief in collaboration and collectivism where sharing work, vision and ideas are how all great creations take hold and manifest. The ethos is creative, ethical, sustainable and inclusive with a strong commitment to recycling, re-using and repurposing wherever possible, alongside the use of green energy and environmentally responsible practices.
Rockaway Parks doors are always open: a safe welcoming space for the local community to gather. We foster a nurturing atmosphere where the community feels a sense of belonging - when we are not building the park we are building each other up.
There is no such thing as failure at Rockaway Park - just opportunities to learn and grow. This approach encourages confidence, resilience and creativity, particularly among those who may feel excluded from more traditional cultural settings.
Our vegan cafe provides healthy, affordable and nourishing food. We see food as a vital part of sustaining creativity, connection, physical and mental wellbeing and care within the community.
