Volunteers play a huge part in making The Vyne a wonderful place to visit, and there are plenty of opportunities for you to put your skills to use across the house and estate, make new friends and help to protect this special place.

What do volunteers do?

House volunteers

Volunteers in the house are friendly faces for visitors, welcoming and guiding them around The Vyne, and ready to share stories and facts with those who’d like to know a little more.

Garden and countryside volunteers

If you’re green-fingered or just like to work outdoors, then volunteering in the garden or across the wider estate might be the perfect role for you.

Working alongside the team of gardeners and rangers you could be helping in the greenhouse, guiding visitors around the garden or maintaining the estate grounds.

Visitor welcome and retail volunteers

Put your great customer service skills to use by joining the visitor welcome or retail teams. You could volunteer in the shop, the popular second-hand bookshop or provide a welcoming smile to visitors in our reception area.
