Volunteering
Come and join us
Join a community with others who share your passion.
Are you fascinated by the watermill, the special varieties in the monastery garden or are you passionate about giving others a great experience?
What is volunteering at Esrum Kloster & Møllegård?
In order to offer our guests all the experiences we have in our annual program, we need help from other monastery enthusiasts. At Esrum Kloster & Møllegård, we especially need help during our big events, help to maintain a well-kept monastery garden and keep our watermill running.
Who are the volunteers
You can meet other like-minded volunteers who share your passion, either for history, for craftsmanship or for the community of volunteers and staff.
We have volunteers of all ages and the joint meetings and workdays are planned to suit each team.
Garden group
From spring to fall, the garden group meets every 14 days to help maintain our coveted monastery garden.
The monastery garden is one of our signature experiences that almost every visitor stops by.
We have almost 200 different plants in the garden, each with their own story and history. Some of them are relict plants that can be traced back to the time of the monks in the area.
The Mill Guild
At Møllegården there is a mill powered by water turbines. Here, a group of volunteers meet every 14 days to maintain the mill so that it is ready to communicate the monks’ and kings’ use of water power.
The mill guild also helps to educate the public about the mill’s use and function and organizes special days throughout the year when the mill is actively running.
Event hosts
At all our major events, we need hands to help us run the event in the best possible way.
Together with the staff, volunteers help in our ticket sales, sell goods, host children’s activities and, in particular, make sure that our partners are welcomed and solve the challenges that may arise during the major events.
