Volunteering
Heritage Open Days couldn’t happen without the commitment and enthusiasm of local volunteers.
Some 40,000 people from all walks of life are involved in opening up places and staging events every year. And so could you!
Help out at a local event
Lots of local organisers welcome new helpers, who:
- Greet visitors
- Guide tours
- Research the history of a place
- Sell refreshments
- Collect feedback
- Take photographs
- Distribute leaflets
- Spread the word through social media
If you’re interested in volunteering in your area, please contact your local coordinator (where listed) or drop a line to the national team and we’ll try to connect you with our local partners.
