Volunteering at Willington Dovecote and Stables
The Visitor Experience Volunteers at Willington Dovecote and Stables provide a warm welcome to visitors and engage with them about what remains of the Tudor manorial complex. This takes place during the open day events which occur the last Sunday of the month from April to September, as well as some extra open days. A full list of open days can be found here.
Ahead of opening at the start of the season a deep clean takes place. This is a great opportunity for someone looking for a one-off volunteering opportunity.
