We would need you here on site at around 11am and keep you here until around 6pm but if you can only do a part day then that is an option as well.
In return we offer you:-
• A staff lunch
• The staff bbq and drinks after the site closes to the public
• A voucher for a dinner at our restaurant to be used at your convenience in the future
Please do let us know if you're keen/willing/able. It is a long day but you get to meet plenty of people and have some fun!
