The stories of Kenwood House are brought to life not only through its collections, architecture and landscape, but also through the dedication of the volunteers who generously give their time to support this special place.

Whether caring for the gardens, sharing knowledge with visitors, or helping uncover the stories behind the house, our volunteers play an invaluable role in preserving and celebrating Kenwood for everyone to enjoy.

Over the coming weeks, we're shining a light on some of the people who make Kenwood House what it is today. We are incredibly grateful for their enthusiasm, commitment and passion.
