Volunteering Open Day

As we prepare to reopen for the 2027 season, we’re delighted to invite anyone interested in volunteering at Arundells to join us for a special Volunteer Open Day.

There is no better time to get involved, as we make the final preparations to welcome visitors back to the house and gardens following our winter closure.

Volunteering at Arundells is about much more than giving your time. It is an opportunity to meet new people, learn new skills, share your interests, and help care for one of Salisbury’s most distinctive historic homes.

On Wednesday 17 March 2027, from 10.00am to 1.00pm, prospective volunteers are invited to join us for a relaxed and informal morning. Come and meet the team, explore the house and gardens, and find out more over tea, coffee and refreshments.

A Wide Range of Opportunities

Whether you enjoy working with people, prefer something behind the scenes, or would like to contribute your creative or practical skills, there may be a place for you at Arundells.

We are currently looking for volunteers interested in:

• House Stewarding
• Gardening and helping care for our beautiful riverside gardens
• Back-office and administrative support
• Marketing and social media
• Writing content for our blog and digital platforms
• Event stewarding and helping us deliver a varied programme of talks, concerts and exhibitions

Why Volunteer at Arundells?

Our volunteers are at the heart of everything we do. Volunteering here offers the opportunity to:

• Spend time in a remarkable historic house in the Cathedral Close
• Meet visitors from around the world
• Engage with history, politics, art, music and culture
• Learn new skills and share existing ones
• Become part of a friendly and supportive community

You do not need prior experience for most roles. Enthusiasm, curiosity and reliability are far more important. Full support and guidance will be provided, and volunteering can fit flexibly around your other commitments.

Come and Find Out More

Whether you are already considering volunteering or simply curious about what is involved, we would love to welcome you along. The Open Day is designed to be informal and friendly, with plenty of opportunity to chat with current volunteers and staff about the different ways to get involved.
