Estate Working Party – Estate Maintenance

2–6 June 2025 (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. Help out with gates, fences, steps and anything else that may need repair. Often involves digging holes and using hand tools. Any number can take part.

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: estate maintenance, gardening, logs and trees, vegetation clearance. 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.
