House Volunteering Day

Ever wondered what it's like to volunteer in Belton House? Now's your chance to find out with a drop-in House Volunteering Day!

Current volunteers and members of the Collections and House Team will be on hand to chat with you about the House Experience Volunteer role, answer questions and help you to sign up.

The event will take place within Belton House from 11am to 4pm and any prospective volunteers will receive free entry to the Estate on the day so they can attend, dropping in at any time during the event.

House Experience Volunteers ensure that everyone feels welcome at Belton, they share the collection’s stories and help visitors to appreciate how and why the Trust takes care of this special place. They should be open-minded, enthusiastic and good listeners who enjoy meeting new people as well as learning and sharing knowledge. Applicants will need to be available at least once a fortnight.

All volunteers receive an induction and training, including safety procedures. In return for their amazing work, their travel costs are paid for and, after 50 hours, they are awarded a card granting them free access to any National Trust site as well as 20% discount in Trust shops and cafes. Volunteering is a great way to meet new people, learn new things and make a difference. We also hold thank you events with exclusive talks, tours and socials.
