Join our volunteer family

At The Sherborne, volunteers are at the heart of everything we do. From welcoming visitors and guiding them through our galleries, to supporting events, workshops, community projects, and tending our beautiful gardens, there’s a role for everyone.

Volunteering with us is more than just helping out—it’s a chance to learn new skills, meet amazing people, and be part of something truly special. Your time and energy help keep The Sherborne open and thriving, ensuring our historic house and gardens can be enjoyed by all.

We know life is busy, so volunteering doesn’t have to be a huge commitment. Whether it’s a few hours a week or a one-off event, we have plenty of opportunities to match your interests and talents—and we promise it will be fun, rewarding, and full of connection.

Be part of our story. Apply today and help bring The Sherborne to life for everyone in our community.
