National Trust to use 'talking benches' voiced by celebrities
A number of ‘talking benches’ voiced by celebrities are to be used by the National Trust across eight beauty spots offering a five minute commentary of their surroundings.
The benches will be placed around England, Wales and Northern Ireland and voiced by celebrities including Steven Fry, Miranda Hart, David Gower and John Sergeant who relay information and anecdotes about each location to the listener.
Fry said: “I am very proud to be associated with a bench and I hope I provide comfort and solace for many a weary bottom.”
