Join in at Petworth

Want to get out and try something new? From getting more exercise in the garden to learning something new as a Room Guide or even just meeting new people, there are plenty of reasons to volunteer with us. The best part is you can volunteer as much or as little of your time as you like.

Volunteer with us

Our team has a really important task, to take care of this amazing place and to bring it to life for our visitors. Volunteering your time to help with this work is a great way to get involved, learn new skills and share existing ones while meeting other like-minded people.
 
" I love being a volunteer; it's such a privilege to be amongst all this beauty and to continue learning. When I think of what I knew then and what I know now, it's enriched my life enormously. I am always recommending people to volunteer. It's very flexible but any time given is so appreciated and so worthwhile!"
- Kim, Room Guide
