National Memorial Arboretum

The National Memorial Arboretum is the UK's year-round centre of Remembrance; a spiritually uplifting place which honours the fallen, recognises service and sacrifice, and fosters pride in our country.

Sited in the heart of the Nation, with around 30,000 maturing trees and over 360 memorials, it is a beautiful and lasting tribute to those who sacrificed and served their country, including memorials to military regiments, civilian organisations and charities.

Over 250 exciting events are held annually, including remembrance events, children’s half term activities and Christmas fairs. The Daily Act of Remembrance, including a Silence, is observed 365 days a year at 11am in the Millennium Chapel. For a full calendar of Arboretum events and activities please visit their website.

Open 9am to 5pm every day except Christmas Day. FREE admission - donations welcome.
