I have visited the Arboretum several times and have always found it a very good visit, this time around I attended for their Christmas light show and wasn't disappointed. The route was very well thought out, looked great and was just the right length. As always the place is immaculately maintained and the staff were polite and helpful, we all had a really good night out.

Wife and I had a excellent evening at the illuminated arboretum event, lighting was exceptionally well set up with interesting displays.
As is normal at this venue which we have been to several times staff are friendly and helpful facilities clean and well maintained and the memorials very tasteful and thought provoking.

This was our 2nd visit, last time was 2017.
I think everyone should visit this Memorial at least once in their life.
There are amazing monuments to the fallen and to those that have served.
We were greeted on entering the building, as we had been before we were happy to do our own thing.
We got there in time for the memorial service with the last post at 11.00 so that set the tone for me.
There are 2 memorials that always break me Shot at Dawn, all those poor lives just shot down, so many such young Boys. The other one is the Bastion Memorial I had links at that time with the Royal Marines and there are many names I can connect to, just rips my heart..
We had a sandwich and coffee, which was all very nice.
Plenty of toilets all clean and tidy.
Nice shop selling lots of bits and bobs
We made our donation electronically, but there are places you can pay cash into.
You can either pre book the car park or pay on the day we paid on the day it’s not that much dearer
If you have an interest in Military and so many other groups it’s well worth a visit.
There are golf buggy rides or a driven train on wheels with commentary for the less able.
We were there nearly 4hrs

We went for the illuminated arboretum, and it was amazing! A beautiful display of clever lighting, with interactive stuff for kids (and adult kids 😃) to enjoy. There was some recorded audio presentations at various locations too.
For as much as it is a memorial site, this didn't detract from the display, and nor does the display stop you from taking time for respectful, and grateful, thoughts for all those who's lives have been lost/given over the years.
It was also a time for remembering those closer to home who are no longer with us too.
The café/restaurant was lovely. Food and drink prices were reasonable, and the atmosphere lovely!
I'd love to visit again during the day, and spend a few hours there.
Definitely recommend going for the illuminated display if you've never been. I'll write another review after going during the day.
Ps the reviewer that gave 1 star just because of the entry price and the standard of the coffee...that's harsh mate, you need to give your head a wobble!
Restrooms: Changing Places is available at the arboretum.
(That's Changing Places for those with disabilities. Not to be confused with baby changing, although they have those too).

I think everything that you could possibly need is there, for every family possible.
What a wonderful place to remember those that have lost their lives doing something their loved and were proud of doing. Also to those people sadly who lost their lives too.

Wonderful evening at the Guiding Lights Illuminations. Such a calming atmosphere that felt christmassy without the carnage. The lighting not over done and the memorials that were lit up still so humble.

A fantastic and poinient place to visit. It really gets you in the heart and I never knew how many regiments of the armed forces there are/was.
It's nice and flat, so you can either walk around or you can go on a road train.
I loved the memorial wall with every man and woman's name on it, of all of those who fought and died for our country, in every conflict.
The food was really nice, with a variety of food to choose from.

Although some of it was underwater we had an amazing day. The main monument is outstanding and you need several hours to look round.
Restrooms: Spotless and plentiful.
Dog-friendliness: Saw lots of dogs. Bins clearly marked.

Supposed to visit the arboretum for the illuminations - rebooked for Tuesday 12th friends weee coming from 20 miles as it rained all day we assumed it may be cancelled, we tried to get in touch waited 15mins to get someone to answer the phone - when it did said they were busy and would get back to us the following day…to late, we decided because of the horrendous weather it would not be safe to attend. For a national organisation the communication is appalling, the arboretum itself is amazing, but think the people who run it need to have a rethink as it is definitely not up to the standard you’d expect, communication is poor, even on the desk people don’t seem to know what’s going on, perhaps the time has come to make it more professional, rather than depend on the army of untrained volunteers, who to be fair try their best.

Amazing! Stunning 😍

A truly rewarding place to visit, whether you're a veteran or just a history geek. Thoroughly recommend you take the road train tour.
There's also a Stick Man walk for younger kids 🙂
