Are you thinking about next summer already? We are. We’re looking for new casual staff to host visitors at Knebworth House, Gardens and Park in 2015. If you are over 16 and have a National Insurance number, age is no barrier.
Look at Santa – he’s still turning up aged seventeen hundred and forty-four! He’ll be hosting the popular Christmas Craft Fair in the Park on Friday 14th, Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th November. Not content with our beautiful deer, he’ll be bringing his own for you to admire – along with an abundance of Christmas gifts and food prepared by his (over 16 and National Insurance numbered) elves.
The change of season, of course, means that visiting Country Houses (as opposed to Country Parks) becomes easiest on ITV. Here, every Sunday evening, Amazon is hosting you at Downton Abbey – and we are very pleased that Amazon has chosen to make its commercials at Knebworth House. In fact, as the announcer heralds “Downton Abbey”, a big picture of Knebworth House appears! Now, you may notice the odd plotline in the show that sounds familiar – I’ll leave you to decide – but apart from the beauty and the history of these two lovely old places, I see very little otherwise to connect Downton Abbey in 1924 and Knebworth House in 2014!
