The Museum of Rugby has been successfully running guided tours of Twickenham Stadium for over five years thanks to a dedicated team of honorary tour guides.

These are voluntary, unpaid positions, although travel and lunch expenses are met. An extensive training programme is conducted by a fully qualified Blue Badge Guide and the only qualifications needed are a love of rugby, a fascination for its history and a desire to show Twickenham Stadium to all kinds of visitors. One day a guide may escort a small family group or a party of schoolchildren or foreign visitors, another it will be VIP's, sponsors or special corporate tours being shown around.

There are no required hours of work although guides are generally asked to cover at least one tour, lasting an hour and a quarter, each month. The Museum and tours operate from Tuesday through to Sunday each week, with four tours a day and two on a Sunday.

If you want to be a tour guide phone Lindsay Simmons at the Museum of Rugby on 0208 892 8877.
