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.
Gather your students and take part in our free workshops to learn more about the Holocaust. Throughout the day your students will explore our memorials to discover the importance of Remembrance, and take part in classroom activities to discover more about some of the personal stories of those affected by that period of time.
Your day will also include an Act of Remembrance in the Arboretum Chapel.
To book your students spot on this free activity day for Key Stage 2, please use our online booking form below.
