HISTORIC Brockhampton Estate, near Bromyard, is on the lookout for volunteer recruits.

With opening hours set to increase this year, the National Trust needs more people to help out at the popular visitor attraction.

There are a huge variety of roles available, from gardeners, rangers and countryside helpers to fundraisers, room guides and events assistants.

Current volunteers will be taking to the streets across Herefordshire over the next few weeks, meeting local people and telling them about their volunteering experiences.

Campaign manager Helen Jaundrell said: “If you’ve got a few hours to spare we’d love to have some of your time at our place.

“Volunteering is about having fun, being involved with the heritage and countryside on your doorstep and making a difference to our visitors’ experience.”

She added: “Our volunteers are incredibly important to us as we simply couldn’t open the doors without their superb support, great ideas and enthusiasm.”

Brockhampton will be open seven days a week throughout its March to November season for the first time this year.

Anyone interested should email wmvolunteering@nationaltrust.org.uk, call 0121 753 7752 or text the word ‘Volunteer’ to 07797804031 to find out more.
