The Strawberry Hill Trust has just been successful in securing a National Lottery Heritage Fund resilience grant to address its buildings conservation priorities, expand its learning and cultural programmes, improve the visitor journey, deliver digital transformation and create opportunities for young people to acquire heritage management skills, which are much needed in this sector. All of this will help the Trust achieve its vision for a fully reimagined visitor experience and economic sustainability in the longer term.
The Project Programme Manager will head the delivery of Strawberry Hill House & Garden’s Heritage Fund Resilience Grant.

Strawberry Hill House and Garden is internationally important as one of the first and most influential Gothic Revival landmarks. Created between 1747 and 1792 by Horace Walpole – historian, man of letters, socialite, collector and son of Britain’s first Prime Minister Sir Robert Walpole – the Grade 1 listed House, set within a Grade II* listed garden, represents a defining moment of cultural innovation: architecture, literature, collecting and landscape combined into one extraordinary vision. Fifteen years after opening to the public following a landmark restoration project, Strawberry Hill House and Garden now attracts over 25,000 visitors a year. As an Accredited museum, it leads the internationally significant work of tracing, reuniting and interpreting Walpole’s dispersed collection, both onsite and online.
