About the job
Join the Board of Bristol Historic Buildings Trust — help restore a landmark for the community
Bristol Historic Buildings Trust (BHBT) is seeking passionate new Trustees to help us bring Ashton Court Mansion back to life.
Ashton Court Mansion is a Grade I listed manor house with origins dating to the 14th century, set within an 850-acre estate on the edge of Bristol. After decades of partial dereliction, we are working to take a 125-year lease from Bristol City Council and regenerate this extraordinary building for generations to come — as a living civic place where heritage, creativity and public life meet.
We are transitioning to a Charitable Community Benefit Society and preparing to launch a Community Share Offer in July 2026. This is an exciting moment to join the Board and play a shaping role in the project's next chapter.
We are particularly looking for trustees with skills and experience in:
• Charity finances and governance
• Public engagement and fundraising
• Law
• Commercial and business development
• Community projects — especially in Culture, Food, Skills, Sustainability and Heritage
We are also committed to a board that reflects the community we serve, and actively welcome applications from younger people seeking their first trustee experience.
What's involved:
• 4 quarterly board meetings per year (March, June, September, December) — approx. 2 hours each
• An annual strategy day
• Additional involvement as your skills allow — fundraising, stakeholder meetings, representing the charity at events
• Terms of up to 3 years (renewable)
• The role is unremunerated; reasonable expenses are reimbursed
Our mission: to restore and operate Ashton Court Mansion through a mixed-use model combining conservation, community programming and commercial activity — ensuring long-term financial and public sustainability.
If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you. Informal conversations welcome before applying.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
