Remembrance Sunday
Visitors are advised that all tickets for pre-12noon parking slots on Remembrance Sunday have now been allocated. Parking tickets are still available for arrival times from 12pm.
Stick Man
Our larger-than-life Stick Man, who you'll find at the start of our Stick Man Trail, will be taking a well-earned break until 16 November and won't be accessible to view during this time. The Stick Man Trail will remain fully accessible over this period, and all other carvings will be available to view along the route.
Free Entry
We recommend booking your visit in advance to guarantee entry and save on parking.
Whilst the Arboretum is a space where people can reflect and remember throughout the year, during November services of Remembrance are held in our grounds to mark Remembrance Sunday (10 November) and Armistice Day (11 November).
Within our grounds you can also visit the Royal British Legion field of Remembrance (1 - 14 November).
Whilst nurturing an inspirational, world-class setting, we will ensure that the Arboretum has a postive impact on our environment by adopting and advocating for ethical and sustainable practises.
The Arboretum is the perfect venue for developing an understanding of Remembrance, as well as a whole host of other subjects including science, literacy and geography. We support various curriculum-based objectives through a fully inclusive learning programme, actively engaging visitors of all ages.
It costs £1,648 to maintain and run our beautiful site during an average visit to the Arboretum*. That’s around £8 per minute.
The National Memorial Arboretum is a UK registered charity (1043992) that relies on the generous support of our visitors, partners, friends and donors.
We appreciate every donation large and small. You can donate during your next visit at any of the donation points located in the Remembrance Centre, at the Welcome Desk, online here, or by leaving a legacy gift.
*Based on average length of visit and 2022 annual Arboretum costs
