Commemorating the 309 British and Commonwealth soldiers who were shot and later pardoned during the First World War, the Shot at Dawn Memorial has been completely restored and is now open.
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.
