All National Trust properties rely on the dedication and time of their volunteers. As Munstead Wood gets closer to opening, we will be no different. If you are interested in volunteering with us, please check back on this page for updates about available opportunities.

Visitor Experience Volunteers

Step into the world of Gertrude Jekyll and help bring her legacy to life! Munstead Wood, the historic home and garden of the renowned horticulturist and garden designer, is looking for passionate volunteers to join our team as tour guides and event hosts.

An initially small team of volunteers will be central to welcoming visitors to Munstead Wood. Unfortunately, we will not be able to offer a role to all who apply at this time. We will be using an application process to get to know you and introduce you to exactly what the role entails. This will include a taster day with a group workshop and then informal interviews with those who apply.

To learn more about what the role entails, and to apply please follow the link below.
