RNIB has been invited to create a show garden for the RHS at their new venue for 2026

RNIB has been invited to create a show garden for the RHS at their new venue for 2026 – RHS Flower Show Sandringham. The garden is supported by Players of the People’s Postcode Lottery and we’re working with Paul Hervey-Brookes, an internationally known garden designer and RHS judge to create an accessible, sensory space that celebrates talking books and gifts in wills. Gifts in Wills are a very special way of giving and account for more than a third of RNIB’s annual income.


We’re looking for volunteers with excellent communication skills, lots of enthusiasm and who enjoy talking to people about the work of RNIB. An interest in gardening would be advantageous but not essential.


The dates are the 22-26 July 2026 for a minimum of one day and will be held in the grounds of the royal family-owned Norfolk estate in Sandringham. The days will be busy and varied and could include:


• talking to members of the public

• handing out merchandise

• helping supporters in the garden


How you will be supported in your role:

Training will be given before the show and there will be members of staff on hand throughout the duration of the show.


How often will I be needed?

  • 1 Days per Day


Location

Region

  • East of England

Additional location information

  • The event is taking place at the RHS Flower Show, Sandringham Estate, Norfolk, PE35 6AB


Who this opportunity will suit


Minimum age

  • You must be at least 18 years old to apply


What skills and experience are needed?

  • We would like volunteers who are confident talking to people. The opportunity will involve standing for most of the day. Volunteers are needed for one day or more between 22 until 26 July 2026. Please note, this role is only available for those who live within a close proximity to Norfolk.
