Tour Guide

For Talliston House & Gardens

Register your interest

Volunteers are needed as Tour Guides to guide small groups around the extraordinary rooms in the house and gardens.

Talliston is a unique house and gardens in Great Dunmow. Dubbed “Britain’s Most Extraordinary Home” by The Times and recently featured on Channel 4's Outrageous Homes with Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen. 

If you’d enjoy introducing others to the extraordinary world inside Talliston, ensuring people have a fantastic time on a day out, this could be the perfect role for you. Your commitment is just a few hours every last weekend of the month, though we also are looking for people to help on private group tours on occasional weekdays.
