Volunteer

At Trent Park House of Secrets, we inspire our volunteers to become champions of the impressive heritage of this extraordinary place.

There are two main ways to get involved: supporting visitors directly as a Volunteer Steward, Retail Assistant or Learning Guide now that the museum is open, or researching and sharing the House's hidden history through our Sharing Stories project.

Volunteering in the Museum - Front of House

If you are interested in the practical side of volunteering and wish to support us as a Volunteer Steward, Retail Assistant or Learning Guide, please do get in touch - the museum is now open and we'd love your help welcoming visitors.

Sharing Stories - Research Project

We have launched Sharing Stories: Connecting Trent Park House with Enfield's Communities, a project funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund. 

Sharing Stories is designed to tease out stories of the House and add to its unique heritage. These stories will be revealed either through research at the National Archives Kew, the Imperial War Museums or via oral history interviews with local people with links to the House.

Volunteers are integral to this project, helping us to uncover the secret stories of Trent Park House, most of which have been hidden for many years. We are currently looking for additional volunteers to join us in revealing yet more secret stories, ranging from the history of eavesdropping and the use of 'stool pigeons', to the House's connection with Winston Churchill. We have a dedicated team who offer training and provide support to volunteer historians who wish to join us in this exciting project.
