International Women's Day

Visitor Announcement

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.

Find Out More

Discover the narratives of remarkable women by delving into the stories behind the memorials.

Through hands workshops and engaging discussions, students will explore the attributes aptitudes that have defined inspiring women who have served throughout the years.  

Students will also focus and discuss which women have personally inspired them in their own lives. 

To celebrate the The UK's first memorial for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender armed-forces personnel, we will be running a day exploring themes around the design and concept of the memorial, the themes behind it and reflections on lived experiences.
