See behind-the-scenes at Scotney tonight (24 May), BBC2 9pm. The castle features in episode 3 of the very excellent new series of 'Hidden Treasures of the National Trust'. (Or catch it on iPlayer. But we think you need a really, really good excuse to miss it.) National Trust South East


Great advice 👇 Such a fantastic array of properties and places to enjoy National Trust National Trust South East

It's #volunteersweek2024 and we'd like to say a huge thank you to all our volunteers at Scotney. You contribute so much, behind the scenes and welcoming our visitors, and we couldn't do it without you all. Thank you! Volunteer's Week National Trust National Trust South East #volunteering

Dreamy castle, dreamy job. If you're creative, proactive and willing to go the extra mile as part of a fantastic team, Scotney is currently recruiting a PT Communications & Marketing Officer. For details and to apply see NT jobs, ref IRC152579. National Trust South East Visit Tunbridge Wells Tourist Info


A perk of being a Scotney #volunteer is seeing behind-the-scenes. Today our house volunteers explored items from our hidden collection like photos, toys, jewellery. And these. Books filled but not redeemed. Maybe not quite enough for that steam iron? National Trust South East #VolunteersWeek
