Call for volunteers to join the team at A la Ronde

The National Trust’s A la Ronde, in Exmouth, Devon is hosting a volunteer recruitment day on Thursday 13 July, 10.30am-1.00pm. 

Budding volunteers are invited to come along to A la Ronde to chat with staff and volunteers and learn about the multiple ways to get involved with the National Trust’s team.

There are many great ways to volunteer at A la Ronde, whether it is re-telling the story of Jane & Mary Parminter to visitors, explaining the history of the house and its objects, welcoming visitors as they arrive or leading garden tours. New recruits have the chance to be a part of the team that brings A la Ronde to life. 

Peter Mason, House Experience Volunteer, says ‘Volunteering at A la Ronde is made special by the happy and relaxed atmosphere, plus you get to meet so many interesting visitors. The house is of size you could imagine living in.’ 

Home of Jane & Mary Parminter built in the 1790’s, A la Ronde, encourages visitors to find out about the extraordinary life of the Parminter’s by visiting their quirky home and taking a guided tour of the grounds.  

Alison Palfrey, Volunteer & Community Officer, says ‘Visitors appreciate the personal touch our volunteers bring to their day, and we appreciate the support and loyalty our volunteers give to A la Ronde. Volunteers don’t need to have any knowledge but be curious enough to pick up facts to share with our visitors.  We want our volunteers to feel welcome and enjoy volunteering with us. Our roles are flexible to suit the volunteer’s interest and skills.’
