Volunteers have been making Wightwick tick for over 60 years. Today we have a team of over 300 people involved in everything we do - welcoming visitors, telling stories, selling gifts, serving food, pulling weeds, painting signs, the list goes on. You might be surprised what you could do. Find out more about how you can join the team and play your part.

Make 2024 the year of giving back!

Why volunteer?

Meet new people
Keep physically and mentally active
Learn new skills and practise old ones
Gain vital experience to help with future employment
And support a charity which cares for a part of local history

Join a friendly Team of over 300 volunteers who support Wightwick’s Tearoom, 17-acre Gardens, Shop, Visitor Reception and our House and Gallery in a range of flexible opportunities.

Whether you are passionate about all things William Morris and the Pre-Raphaelites, love the precision in mowing lawns and deadheading, care about giving people the best experience or just simply like to do your bit behind the scenes, we’re sure you’ll find something that you love!

'I enjoy volunteering because it gives me a sense of purpose, it makes me feel valued and I enjoy interacting with visitors, staff and the other volunteers.'

- Elaine, Welcome and Event Volunteer
