Lindisfarne Castle on Holy Island
From harvesting apples and making cider to wild camping and fixing the fells, the National Trust has over 280 working holidays that provide the opportunity to get outdoors, have fun and play a part in conserving the nation’s heritage.
With prices starting from just £75 including all food and accommodation, there are weekend breaks or week long holidays available across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Plus for the first time a small selection of overseas holidays are now available.
Marianne Wanstall Head of Holidays explains their everlasting appeal,
“National Trust working holidays, which celebrate their 45 anniversary this year, not only ensure that the National Trust’s special places remain open, relevant and accessible, but they also provide amazing opportunities to get onto the land, to learn new skills, to meet new people and to engage with nature and the historic places cared for by the Trust.”
So whether you’re a budding Indiana Jones hoping to dig up history, a green fingered enthusiast in search of a gardening challenge, a lover of the great outdoors or simply looking for a new way to spend time as a family, the National Trust’s working holidays are full of activities and experiences to tempt all ages and backgrounds.
