Christmas Tree Volunteers
We’re looking for cheerful, festive volunteers to help sell our beautiful Christmas trees at Arnos Vale Cemetery from 24th November!
As one of our Christmas Tree Volunteers, you’ll help care for our trees, chat to visitors about what makes them special, and spread a little Christmas magic with every sale. Whether you love Christmas, enjoy meeting new people, or simply want to give something back, we’d love to hear from you.
Even better? Every penny raised goes straight back into protecting and preserving Arnos Vale, helping us care for this very special place for generations to come. No experience is needed – just a friendly face and a little festive spirit!
Christmas Tree Volunteer
When: Shifts from 24th November until we sell out. Shifts are 10.30am–1pm or 1–4pm. We’ll also be opening late for some Christmas shopping evenings, so we’re looking for volunteers to help with evening shifts from 4pm–7pm too.
Where: Arnos Vale Cemetery, Bristol
How often: Volunteer for the shifts that suit you, subject to availability
How long: From the start of Christmas tree sales until we sell out
Supervised by: Arnos Vale Enterprise team
What we need you to do
You’ll help make buying a Christmas tree at Arnos Vale a lovely experience for our visitors. You’ll welcome customers, help them choose their perfect tree, and share information about our Christmas tree sales and the work they help support.
You’ll help care for the trees, keeping the sales area tidy and looking its best throughout the festive season. You may also help visitors with their choices, answer questions, assist with sales, and work alongside the Arnos Vale team to keep everything running smoothly during this busy time of year.
Above all, you’ll help create a friendly, festive atmosphere and make everyone who visits feel welcome.
What we need from you
You’ll enjoy meeting and chatting to people, feel comfortable helping customers, and bring a positive, can-do attitude to the team. You don’t need previous retail or volunteering experience – we’ll provide guidance and support.
You’ll be happy to work outdoors in winter weather, help care for the trees, and assist with practical tasks as needed. You’ll also be respectful of Arnos Vale’s unique setting as a working cemetery, helping us maintain a welcoming environment for everyone who visits.
A love of Christmas and a willingness to get involved are all you need!
What we offer you in return
You’ll be part of a friendly team, help spread some festive cheer, and make a meaningful contribution to the future of Arnos Vale.
Every Christmas tree sold helps raise vital funds to protect and preserve our cemetery, its wildlife, heritage and beautiful grounds. By volunteering with us, you’ll be helping to ensure this special place can be enjoyed for generations to come.
You’ll also have the chance to meet new people, gain experience supporting a seasonal retail activity, and enjoy being part of the festive buzz at Arnos Vale.
