Volunteer at our art exhibition
Eight contemporary artists are creating new work to be installed in the beautiful 17th-century garden. This is your chance to be part of the team giving visitors a great welcome to this exciting exhibition.
You can volunteer weekly, fortnightly or as a 3 – 4 week internship. You’ll get great experience with visitors and in invigilating a major contemporary art event.
