Immerse yourself in history and explore the Lord Leycester on an exclusive after hours tour led by a costumed character. Hear the tale of how during Elizabeth I’s reign, Robert Dudley founded his legacy, this philanthropic organisation,  in the beautiful half-timbered buildings built by the Guilds of Warwick in the 1300’s. Dudley created a home and sanctuary for soldiers –the Brethren – who had fought in the Elizabethan wars and he installed a Master to watch over them. A unique establishment where the community of Master and Brethren still exists after 450 years. Learn more about the nuances of this fascinating historical gem hidden in the heart of Warwick. After, ask the character questions whilst you enjoy a glass of ale or soft drink.

As part of Volunteer Week 2025, we're inviting prospective volunteers to join us for a special guided tour of the Lord Leycester. Led by our Volunteer team leaders, this is a great chance to explore the site, learn more about the roles available, and get a feel for what volunteering with us is really like. Whether you're curious, committed, or somewhere in between – come along and see how you could be part of our story.

Our volunteers are at the heart of everything we do at the Lord Leycester, offering invaluable support across the site and helping to sustain the work of our charity. From welcoming visitors and sharing the site’s history, to supporting events and behind-the-scenes operations, their dedication helps keep this remarkable place thriving. We simply couldn’t do it without them – and we’d love for you to be part of that impact.
