Roles and opportunities

Volunteers at The Argory are involved in all aspects of the place, from being outdoors looking after the estate and working in the garden to helping indoors, taking part in conservation projects and administration.

Lots of our volunteers are involved in visitor-facing roles as meeter-greeters, tour guides, and in the second-hand bookshop. Our volunteers are also heavily involved in our programme of events throughout the year - previous roles have included everything from face painting and flower arranging to making chocolates for the fabulous afternoon teas.

Volunteering at The Argory gives you the chance to meet people from all walks of life, not just the visitors who come to see us, but also your fellow volunteers. It’s the perfect way to meet like-minded people and make new friends.
