About The National Memorial Arboretum

The National Memorial Arboretum is the Nation’s year-round place to remember, 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 to more than 400 memorials waiting to be discovered. Miles of pathways make exploring accessible, and trails, exhibitions, and holiday activities help to bring the Arboretum's stories to life for families.

The Arboretum is open throughout the year and is free to enter.

The second children’s play area, with nearby picnic area, can be found further into the Arboretum grounds and features an adventure course of wooden obstacles.

Please note: for the saftey and security of all visitors, only assistance dogs are permitted within the Children's Play Areas.

We offer FREE children's activities throughout the year!

We hold lots of exciting activities throughout the year, specifically designed to help our young explorers learn more about the Arboretum, our nature-filled grounds and the stories we share.

Throughout Staffordshire school holidays, there are often a range of free arts, crafts and storytelling activities amongst many other themed items. We also run free family activities across the summer holiday, as well as on Armed Forces Day in June.

You can find out more about our what's coming up on our website.

Transport Information

Lichfield Trent Valley is the closest railway station and is five miles away. Lichfield City, although further away, is located close to the bus station and provides better public transport links.

Although we do not have an on site bus stop, a daily bus service (number 12) operates between Burton upon Trent and Lichfield. The closest stops can be found in Alrewas Village (roughly a 20 – 30 minute walk away).
