IF YOU HAVEN’T VISITED THE NATIONAL MEMORIAL ARBORETUM BEFORE, OR HAVEN’T BEEN FOR A WHILE...

HERE ARE FIVE REASONS TO PUT IT AT THE TOP OF YOUR SUMMER ‘TO-DO’ LIST:

REMEMBRANCE The focus here isn’t just on the military. There are also memorials honouring the emergency services and other organisations like the Women’s Institute, the Women’s Land Army, Scouts, the RNLI and the Salvation Army. REAL STORIES There’s a story behind each of the thoughtprovoking memorials and they are works of art in themselves. Visit the three exhibitions, take a guided tour or listen to a talk and be enthralled as the stories really come to life. INSPIRATION It’s a wonderful place to come for a calm, peaceful walk through the beautiful woodland. Wander down avenues remembering those who gave their lives, or just enjoy the spectacular variety of flora and fauna. FREE ENTRY The National Memorial Arboretum, which is part of the Royal British Legion, is open year-round and entry is free. What’s more, new memorials are being added all the time, so even if you’ve already visited, there’s always a reason to go again. EXCITING EVENTS Throughout the year, there’s a wide programme of interesting and exciting events, designed to please and entertain everyone, no matter how young or old.
