BENINGBROUGH Hall, the National Trust property near York, was today holding a drop-in information session in its quest to find more volunteers.

The stately home, last year’s Visit York Visitor Attraction of the Year, needs volunteers to act in front-of-house roles which involve sharing stories with school children and engaging with day visitors, plus behind-the-scenes conservation or admin work.

Newer roles include tour guiding and photography and film-making to support the property’s social media and web presence. There will be another open day on Saturday, from 10am to 1pm.

Jane Whitehead, visitor operations manager, said: “We are looking for people to join our teams who love to engage, are enthusiastic and have a passion for heritage and customer service.”
