Help us to tell the story of Broomfield House and Park
Call out for heritage volunteers
Broomfield House and Park has been at the heart of this community for nearly 500 years — a family estate, a school, a clinic, a museum, and a café.
Now, as our beloved bandstand reaches its centenary and Broomfield House is given a new lease of life as a historic ruin, we want to make sure stories of the house and park are recorded and told properly; and we need your help to do it.
Whether you have personal memories of the house and park, a passion for local history, or skills in research or community outreach, there's a role for you. You don't need any prior connection to the house or its history — curiosity and enthusiasm are just as valuable as lived experience. This is a genuine opportunity to shape what visitors of all ages learn and discover about this remarkable place — and to help connect the wider community with a history that belongs to all of us.
We're looking for people to help with:
- Sharing and collecting memories and oral histories
- Researching the house and park
- Telling interesting stories
- Reaching out across the community
- Helping make the history of this place relevant and exciting for new audiences
All levels of experience are welcome. You can give as little as a couple of hours or get more involved over the coming months.
