Get into the festive spirit at the Arboretum this winter! Explore our magical winter light trail, Illuminated Arboretum, join us for special musical performances, relax as you enjoy a delicious treat from our Restaurant or just simply enjoy a crisp winter walk through our woodlands.
Whilst nurturing an inspirational, world-class setting, we will ensure that the Arboretum has a postive impact on our environment by adopting and advocating for ethical and sustainable practises.
The Arboretum is the perfect venue for developing an understanding of Remembrance, as well as a whole host of other subjects including science, literacy and geography. We support various curriculum-based objectives through a fully inclusive learning programme, actively engaging visitors of all ages.
It costs £1,648 to maintain and run our beautiful site during an average visit to the Arboretum*. That’s around £8 per minute.
The National Memorial Arboretum is a UK registered charity (1043992) that relies on the generous support of our visitors, partners, friends and donors.
We appreciate every donation large and small. You can donate during your next visit at any of the donation points located in the Remembrance Centre, at the Welcome Desk, online here, or by leaving a legacy gift.
*Based on average length of visit and 2022 annual Arboretum costs
