Ways to volunteer at Claremont Landscape Garden

There are many ways to volunteer your time at Claremont, from helping with the conservation of the great outdoors or serving people in the café to making visitors feel welcome and inspired.

Garden volunteers

Our small team of just two full-time gardeners have a huge job to do, looking after 49 acres of historic, Grade I-listed landscape. Helping as a volunteer gardener is a great way to get out into the fresh air and make a real difference. You don't need years of experience, just enthusiasm and a fair level of fitness.

Day Makers

Could you help provide our visitors with a warm welcome and the information they need to make their visit memorable? Claremont also has a full programme of events for the family all year round from family trails to theatre. Our Day Makers support our Welcome Team and Visitor Experience Team in a variety of ways to ensure everyone has the best day possible!

Heritage Guides

If history's more your thing, spread your enthusiasm to others by joining us as a Heritage guide. Help us keep the fascinating and tragic stories of royal Claremont alive and inspire others to learn more.

Food and beverage volunteers

Claremont’s busy café is the hub of social activity at Claremont. With thousands of visitors passing through during peak periods, the hardworking café staff always appreciate an extra hand.

Volunteering behind the scenes

If you feel more comfortable behind a keyboard than in front of a wood-chipper, you could help the friendly office team keep things running smoothly.

If you're a bit of a shutterbug, you could put your skills to use showing the world how beautiful Claremont really is. Shoot beautiful landscapes, document conservation work, or capture some of our beautiful water birds.

Our Facebook, Instagram and Twitter channels are important ways of connecting with supporters. Could you help write posts that inspire visits and engage community members?
