As part of the nation's 'Big Help Out' volunteering event, local families are being invited to come and volunteer at The Bishop's Palace for a couple of hours on Sun 9th June. Would your family like a new challenge and a free day out?

Tasks may include welcoming visitors, polishing plaques on the benches, keeping things clean and tidy and taking photos around the gardens. Priority will be given to those families who have not visited The Bishop's Place & Gardens before.

Bring a picnic and once your volunteering is done you can enjoy yourself in the gardens and palace for the rest of the day! There will be another chance to get involved again on Sat 5th Oct where the tasks will be gardening themed.

For more information and to book a place for your family please contact Siobhan Goodwin, Community Engagement Manager [email protected].

The Big Help Out runs across the country 7th-9th June and encourages people who may not have tried volunteering before to give it a go.
