Commercial Sales & Events Coordinator

Who we are

We are Gunnersbury Museum & Park Development Trust - a registered charity which manages west London’s Gunnersbury Park and 21 listed buildings and structures within it.

We welcome nearly a million people to Gunnersbury each year: some for a friendly game of footy or tennis, others for the wedding of their dreams or even a local community group going down memory lane in the museum.

Gunnersbury Park & Museum hosts a variety of events from outdoor music concerts, park events and exhibitions to weddings, corporate hire, filming and photo shoots.

We could also tell you about our local history museum winning NPO status, our 186 acres of Grade II* listed parkland which has been awarded Green Flag and London In Bloom Gold, our education and community programmes, or our brand-new sports facilities.

There’s so much to be excited about at Gunnersbury and a real opportunity to help shape its future by joining our team.
