Volunteering at Belmont

Our volunteers play a vital role in bringing Belmont to life, welcoming our visitors, and sharing their knowledge of the Harris family and the history of the house in a fascinating and enjoyable way.

Volunteering throughout the main visitor season (April to September) can be for as little as a couple of hours per week. No experience is required, just a passion for sharing with others, enthusiasm and energy.

House Tour Guides

At Belmont, our volunteer guides create memorable tours for our visitors. We are seeking friendly, enthusiastic, and passionate individuals to join our team!
As a tour guide, you’ll be comfortable speaking to groups, enjoy sharing stories about the house and gardens, and be able to stand and walk during tours. You’ll begin by shadowing experienced guides, gradually taking on parts of a visit with support, and eventually leading tours independently.

Room Stewards

To offer a warm welcome to visitors to the house as one of our room stewards; to provide information on the various rooms open, to provide help to visitors who need it and to evacuate the house in case of the fire alarm. Room stewards also play an essential part in safeguarding the collections and artefacts.

We provide full induction, training and ongoing support for all our volunteers - along with a range of benefits to enjoy.
