The Armed Forces Memorial, and its immediate surroundings, will be closed to visitors from 10am on Friday 8 August to 5pm on Sunday 17 August to allow us to prepare to host the national VJ Day 80 commemorations. The rest of the Arboretum's 150-acres will remain open to visitors as normal. We are sorry for any inconvenience this might cause and appreciate your understanding during this time.
Our shorter workshops start from 30 minutes, and can be tailored to a range of Key Stages.
For: Early Years to Key Stage 5
Our Act of Remembrance offers students the opportunity to learn about the significance of remembrance, connect with our shared history, and pay tribute to those who gave their lives for peace and freedom. Groups may personalise the act with their own readings, poems and songs.
£2 per student | 30 minutes
For: Early Years to Key Stage 3
A poppy classroom activity is a thoughtful and engaging lesson that teaches children about the significance of the poppy as a symbol of remembrance.
This learning experience ties closely to British Values, particularly mutual respect and tolerance, by encouraging students to reflect on the lives and contributions of others, fostering a deeper understanding of our shared history and the importance of peace.
£3 per student | 30 minutes (Early Years), 45 minutes (Key Stage 1 to 3)
