Buying and restoring the Somerset Arms will require an enormous amount of effort — and not all of it can be funded. From the day the campaign launched to the day we reopen the doors, volunteers are central to everything we do. We are calling on villagers, friends of Semington, and anyone across the country who wants to roll up their sleeves and be part of something genuinely special.
The work spans two broad phases: Campaign & Fundraising — where we need people to help us spread the word, run events and keep momentum going — and Building & Refurbishment, where we need skilled tradespeople and enthusiastic helpers to help us restore a 200-year-old coaching inn to its former glory.
No experience required for many roles. Whether you can spare an afternoon or commit to weeks on site, there is something here for everyone. If you have a skill we can use, we especially want to hear from you.
