The full programme is on our website at https://coultershaw.co.uk/
Tony Sneller says “At Easter, we will be introducing Doris Duck, a detective extraordinaire, who will lead our younger visitors on our fabulous new trail around the site. This replaces our popular Wind in the Willows trail that has been enjoyed by so many over the last two years.”

"The role will involve greeting visitors at reception, receiving their admission fees, explaining what they can see on the site and selling items from our small shop.” You can register your interest in volunteering at: https://coultershaw.co.uk/support-or-join-in/.
