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.
Drawing inspiration from the Arboretum, students will work with our poet in residence to explore our 150-acre site and learn about Remembrance.
Throughout the day they will create their own poetry masterpiece.
Please keep an eye on our website for future National Poetry Day dates, or check out our other Activity Days below.
