Volunteer with us

VOLUNTEERING AT STRAWBERRY HILLL HOUSE

Volunteers are at the heart of what we do at Strawberry Hill House & Garden. We have consistently excellent feeedback from visitors that the volunteers and staff are warm, knowledgable, and helpful, perfectly complementing the unique and special place that Horace Walpole created almost 300 years ago.

From welcoming and engaging visitors volunteers support us to both preserve this amazing place and promote the legacies of Horace Walpole, Lady Frances Waldegrave, and the de Stern family, taking in architecture, literature, art, horticulture and social history. Many of our volunteers go on to support us as Tour Guides.

We also have volunteers who help in the gardens, maintaining and improving our beautiful green spaces, rich with wildlife and perfect for people to relax.

As a small charity with a big history, volunteers support every area of our Museum’s operation and administration and ‘back of house’ volunteers support our Library, Conservation, Curation.

Learning volunteers support our excellent Educational programme, helping to give schools sessions working with skilled Learning Practitioners.
