Alrewas, Staffordshire, DE13 7AR
SATURDAY 30 MAY 2026
FROM 9.30AM
The National Memorial Arboretum is a space where everyone can celebrate lives lived and remember lives lost. A beautiful and inspiring place, the 150-acres of the Arboretum form a living landscape, a home for more than 400 memorials waiting to be discovered.
Tales of bravery shown in the most extraordinary of times, selfless service and sacrifice, camaraderie and care are represented by the memorials. From the Armed Forces and Emergency Services to civilian organisations that supported our Nation in times of need, people from all walks of life are represented by the memorials, with designs that are rich in symbolism reflecting those they remember.
Please arrive from 9.30am. The Arboretum and Cafe opens at 10am.
There is a short Rememberance Service (every day) at 11am in the Chapel directly opposite the cafe and I would highly recommend people attending this. As usual though, there is no formal itinerary for the day and you are free to explore the grounds of the Arboretum at your leisure.
