Estate Working Party

9–13 February 2026 (Mon–Fri)

If you’re fit and able, we’d love you to join our team doing practical tasks on our stunning estate this week. You’ll work roughly five hours each day but get a reduced rate along with the late afternoons and evenings free for a satisfying rest. Choose between: woodland work, fences and estate tasks, log splitting and clearing and gardening. Places on each stream are limited. Appropriate outdoor PPE is provided, but please bring suitable clothing, stout footwear and waterproofs. If you are unsure whether you could manage this sort of work, please phone before booking.
