We’re always looking for more chatty and outgoing volunteers to engage with visitors in the house.

How can I get involved?

House guides are there to bring the history of the house to life, and to ensure every visitor to the house has an enjoyable visit. 

House guide volunteers come in once a week from 10:45am-4:15pm and spend the day in different areas of the house chatting to visitors.
