“Volunteering in Pitzhanger allows you to imprint yourself to history. If you have any architectural curiosity, you would be in awe to physically see how natural light enters the hallway mimicking a beautiful Mediterranean sun, as Soane intended.“

Volunteer testimony

“I’ve been a volunteer at Pitzhanger since it was reopened in 2019 and have enjoyed every minute connecting with my community.  I’ve made new friends and learned a lot about local history, as well as the history of the Manor which I’ve been able to share with visitors… I am proud to be part of the team”.
