National Trust in the Midlands

Every volunteer plays their own special part to help us look after these special places. From those helping in our tea rooms to those making your Christmas a little bit more magical, like Phil our signing Father Christmas.

There's nothing quite like a National Trust property decorated for Christmas, but have you ever stopped to think about who is responsible? We rely on our dedicated team of volunteers all year round, but at Christmas time there are some extra special jobs. What better time to say a great big thank you.

Every year, volunteer Jana Eastwood, sets about creating an amazing Christmas masterpiece to help celebrate Christmas at Charlecote Park. This year might just be her most ambitious yet...

The nights have drawn in and winter is well and truly here, but there's still plenty of wildlife to be seen if you know where to look.
