‘I enjoy history and sharing this knowledge with other people... My favourite part of volunteering is all the different people I get to meet and if I was to persuade a friend to volunteer, I’d say ‘just do it, you will never regret it’.

Ways to volunteer at Brockhampton
Brockhampton relies on the kind people who offer their time in any way they can to look after this historic estate and bring it to life for our visitors. Here's a sample of the various roles volunteers are currently enjoying.
House Experience Volunteers
Help bring the history of the medieval manor house to life by interacting with visitors, welcoming them to the house, talking to them about the history and engaging with families through trails and other activities. House volunteers are not expected to be experts; all of our team learn about the history of Brockhampton through events, exhibitions, tours, and chatting to the public.
Visitor Welcome Volunteers
An enthusiastic meeter and greeter, able to inspire, think on their feet and happy to adapt from quiet to busy. You’ll be encouraging visitors to benefit from what Brockhampton has to offer, selling children's trails, scanning cards, promoting membership and more.
Visitor Experience Volunteers
If you like being hands-on and creative, then this may be the role for you. Visitor experience is all about delivering memorable events and experiences. If you’re a real people person with a crafty flare then why not try your hand at helping us create children’s trails, storytelling activities or craft sessions?
Herefordshire Countryside Volunteers
Our countryside volunteers help look after and protect special outdoor places so that nature and wildlife can thrive. Volunteers will get to explore and protect the great outdoors and protect local wildlife and landscape. They will learn about the history, nature, and archaeology of Brockhampton and beyond. Volunteers operate with the rangers at Brockhampton, keeping the countryside in good condition, monitoring and restoring visitor pathways and local habitats.
If any of the above sounds like you, please get in touch and share your skills.
