  There have been rumours concerning volunteers at the castle ever since I joined the staff there some 27 years ago. There are two simple reasons why it won't work, 1) It's a great place on a warm sunny sunday afternoon, and hell in the winter months when you have to stand at Palace Gate to keep people out of the keepyard when it is closed due to bad weather! Cleaning up after peoples dogs, doing the litter bins, checking the loos etc etc, and all for no money? I think not! 2) Working at the Castle is not now (as it used to be) about history, it's about selling, selling and more selling. It's not the job most people think it is! and lastly try dealing with 700/800+ school children a day! Enough to drive a saint to drink let alone an unpaid volunteer.
  Some folk may do a season, but no-one would do it for long, and then there is EH and the way they treat the site staff........
