Harewood House

The Ferry is an incredibly popular part of our visitor offer. The 10 minute journey across the lake provides magnificent views of the Capacity Brown landscape and increasing accessibility to the Bothy and Walled Garden. As a Volunteer Welcome Host, you will support a member of staff to ensure visitors are warmly welcomed aboard the Ferry and have an enjoyable voyage.

You’ll count on and off visitors in line with the Ferry’s capacity, monitor the queue during busy periods, and whilst in motion, ensure that visitors stay seated. Crucially, you will be the eyes and ears for the member of staff during docking, advising on when the Ferry will need to slow and stop, and support by lowering the ramps to allow visitors to disembark. Please note that raising the lowering the ramps is a repetitive and physical activity.
