A rare opportunity to lead one of Britain's most significant historic estates - Hestercombe Garden Trust Hestercombe is one of the South West's most significant historic landscapes, combining nationally important gardens, heritage buildings, and a vibrant programme of cultural and community activity. Set within a unique valley landscape, the estate brings together over 300 years of garden design, including the celebrated collaboration between Sir Edwin Lutyens and Gertrude Jekyll, alongside earlier Georgian and later Victorian influences. Today, Hestercombe operates as an independent charitable trust with a mission to conserve, restore and share this remarkable place for public benefit. In February 2024, Hestercombe was awarded Full National Museum Accreditation, recognising the quality and importance of its collections, interpretation, and public offer. The estate welcomes tens of thousands of visitors each year and offers a diverse programme spanning horticulture, arts and culture, learning, and wellbeing. From formal gardens and woodland walks to exhibitions, events and seasonal programming, Hestercombe provides an accessible and inspiring environment for a wide and growing audience.

Due to a number of operational challenges and financial pressures, the Trustees appointed Joint Administrators from Forvis Mazars LLP on 1 August 2025 to protect the estate and stabilise operations.

It is intended that Hestercombe Gardens Trust will exit Administration within the next 6 months and return to the control of the Trustees, a newly appointed CEO and management team.
