What's On
May
Swanage Pier Volunteer Recruitment Day
Saturday 18th May - 10.00am - 2.00pm
Volunteers are at the heart of Swanage Pier
Our volunteers provide hundreds of hours of support each month, without which 
Swanage Pier would struggle to survive. Thanks to this support, the Pier looks as glorious today as it would have done over 120 years ago.
We welcome anyone with a few hours to spare, who likes meeting new people and wants to spend time supporting this amazing heritage site.
Volunteers get involved in all aspects of the Pier, from welcoming visitors at the gate, to Pier maintenance, as well as helping with events, education and serving customer in the gift shop.
This is why I volunteer ..........
'Learning more about the Pier, Swanage and the surroundin
g area including the sea, boats and wildlife'.
' Enjoy working in the shop meeting the customers - some of whom are very interesting with their long knowledge of the Pier’.
‘It is a lovely Pier and I feel privileged to help keep it going and help visitors enjoy it as much as I do’.
To find out more come along on Saturday 18th May between 10am-2pm and chat to one of our friendly team, to see how you can become a volunteer at Swanage Pier.

The Tuesday morning sessions will be a gentle guided flow class suitable for all levels of experience and will include an introduction to simple breathing techniques, some standing and seated postures and guided relaxation. We will focus on different elements of the practice each week, sharing simple tools that will support you to develop a deeper awareness of your mind, body and breath. We will explore variations to support everyone to find ways to move that feel comfortable in their own body.
We encourage practitioners to develop awareness of how your body feels as they move and never to push into feelings of discomfort or pain. With regular practice, yoga can help us to cultivate steadiness in our body, breath and mind.
All levels and abilities are welcome on Tuesday mornings. We are not able to accommodate children in either class unfortunately.
