Summary
Join the Hestercombe team for a free afternoon of talks and tours to find out more about our volunteer opportunities.Detailed description
We're delighted to invite anybody interested in volunteering at Hestercombe to a very special event to find out more about our gardens, galleries and retail opportunities, as well as a behind-the-scenes look around our beautiful places.
As a small charity, Hestercombe relies on volunteers to deliver a number of extremely valuable services, both directly to visitors and behind the scenes. Whether through gardening, invigilating in Hestercombe Galleries or supporting with office administration, there are a number of ways you can get involved.
You will be joined on the day by Claire Greenslade (Head Gardener) for a walk and talk around the gardens, Tim Martin (Creative Director) for guided tour of the galleries and current exhibition, as well as Linda Sandford (Retail and House Manager) for an insight into operations. After the various activities you can enjoy refreshments in the beautiful Hestercombe House with Richard Mira (Managing Director).
About Hestercombe Gardens Trust
As a small charity, Hestercombe relies on volunteers to deliver a number of extremely valuable services, both directly to visitors and behind the scenes.
There are a variety of ways you can get involved. Whether through gardening, invigilating in the Hestercombe Gallery, front of house or assisting in retail - all roles on which the running of Hestercombe is dependent.
Why volunteer?
By volunteering at Hestercombe you'll be part of the Hestercombe team made up of volunteers from the local community, as well as the Hestercombe staff.
The roles undertaken by volunteers here at Hestercombe are considered some of the most important across the organisation and allow us to offer the highest quality visitor experience. Without the support of volunteers we would not be able to deliver the wide range of events, high quality exhibitions and continued estate management that we currently provide.
Volunteers would need to commit to at least 3 hours a week. As a thank you for your help and hard work, Hestercombe offers volunteers free annual membership, as well as a annual volunteer get together, which is a great opportunity to socialise and get to know our team even better.
