Our Team of Volunteers at St Bene's Abbey nr Ludham, are seeking confident people to join their team.

St Benet's Abbey, also know as the Icon of the broads, is a heritage monument with a very interesting past. This was the only Abbey in the whole of the UK not closed during Henry VIII dissolution...

We offer guided tours from June - September each year and we need you if you have an interest in history, story telling, and sharing information. Confident public speaking is essential.

No prior knowledge is required as full training will be given.

This site is remote so you will need to be able to drive and have use of a car.

The team at St Benet's Abbey is friendly and open and meet together 3 times each season, to share information and socialise.

The wider public are interested in the stories of the site and you will find it rewarding to meet people and share your knowledge.
