‘I have been a volunteer at Petworth House for a number of years undertaking a variety of roles including room guiding, working in the shop and conducting tours. The aspect of the work that I have particularly enjoyed is meeting the visitors, talking to them about the history of the property and trying to bring it alive for them so they get the most out of their visit.’
