Volunteer

If you enjoy history, old buildings, gardens, meeting new people and making friends, why not volunteer on the Elvaston Estate?

The Elvaston Estate relies on the dedication of our incredible volunteers. Their contributions span a wide range of roles, from gardening and weekend ranger/ warden duties to events support, archive work, and leading house and garden tours.

We’re always looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help across The Elvaston Estate.  People choose to volunteer with us for many reasons: to give back to the community, develop new skills, make friends and become part of a vibrant, like-minded community.
