On Friday 22 May the Arboretum will host the Royal British Legion's 'Remembering the Iraq War - 15 Years On' event. The Arboretum will be busier than normal, and all visitors are encouraged to book parking in advance to guarantee entry to site.
Access to the RBL event area to the rear of the Armed Forces Memorial will be restricted to event ticket holders only. The Armed Forces Memorial will also be closed between 11am - 1pm.
The RBL event will be relayed onto screens in Heroes' Square and the Naval Review for visitors without tickets who wish to participate in the programme.
This year, we’re gathering at the National Memorial Arboretum—a tranquil and reflective space—to celebrate mental health and create an open, supportive environment.
Through workshops, mindfulness activities, and guided discussions, we’ll explore how nature can help nurture our mental well-being and inspire resilience.
