Volunteer at Tyntesfield
Say hello to some of our volunteers...
Teresa, raffle volunteer since 2010
"I enjoy being part of the fundraising to restore and conserve the items at Tyntesfield, and being able to interact with our visitors."
Mel, harvesting volunteer since April 2017
"I feel very lucky. It's brilliant to be outdoors - so good for mental health - and every week I'm learning a bit more about harvesting and growing."
Jon, play maintenance volunteer since 2014
"There are around a dozen of us in the role and between us we check the four play areas on the estate once a week and do minor repairs if we need to."
Adi, baking volunteer since 2015
"I love volunteering and baking and this is a great way to combine the two. I've learned a lot being in a working kitchen and love working with the team and using the super-sized resources, like the giant mixer!"
John and Doreen, fungi auditor volunteers since 2003
"Tyntesfield is a great place for fungi because there's such a variety of environments. We're always finding different specimens and every month is different so it's always interesting."
Gerry, Tyntesfield volunteer since 2001
"I started off as a tour guide, then I was involved in cataloguing the house's contents. Now I run the second-hand bookshop with a team of volunteers, where everything we raise goes to caring for Tyntesfield."
Chris, volunteer bus driver since 2014
“It’s great driving the bus. I really enjoy chatting to the visitors and the volunteers are great fun. I’d recommend this role – and any volunteering – to everyone.”
