National Memorial Arboretum

📢 Sunday 8 February - the Arboretum is CLOSED TODAY! Localised flooding has reached the Croxall Road, meaning that the only road to and from the Arboretum is inaccessible. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

📢 Very pleased to announce this evening's Illuminated Arboretum (Sun 21 Dec) will go ahead as planned. Following yesterday's flooding, the site is now safe. If you have tickets for Saturday evenings cancelled Illuminated Arboretum please come along, your ticket will be valid.

We very much hope that Illuminated Arboretum will be able to run on Sunday 21 and Monday 22 Dec, but as we are monitoring an unpredictable flooding situation that is beyond our control, please check our website before travelling. We thank you for your patience and understanding

UPDATE: We have now sent an email with further information to affected ticket holders.

📣 URGENT VISITOR ANNOUNCEMENT Illuminated Arboretum is cancelled tonight (Sat 20 Dec) Due to the unpredictable and deteriorating conditions of flooding on site, we have made the difficult decision to cancel Illuminated Arboretum this evening. 1/2
