Went to the Summer Proms last night. My Mobility scooter broke down half way to the arena.
Mark and the other staff and volunteers really looked after me.
I was provided with a motability scooter to borrow to ensure I could get to the arena safely.
At the end of the event. Mark looked after me and escorted me to the car while I was still on the borrowed scooter and pushed my broken down scooter with us.
I highly recommend the Summer Proms as well as the customer service I and other guests received.
The staff and volunteers were outstanding.
Thank You

We love the Arboretum... have been a few times. On Friday 5th August 2022 we went to the Summer Proms event. Absolutely fantastic. We have been to Prom concerts before, but this one was lovely because it was smaller and more intimate. Great music performed by the Band of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers with mezzo soprano Louise Callinan. The setting made it quite magical adjacent to the Armed Forces Memorial. Great sound and lights and some of the best fireworks ever! Highly recommend the Arboretum anyway, but if you can get to the Summer Proms you are in for a real treat.

The arboretum covers a large area, but taking the land train tour was a great way to see much of the site. The commentary was accurate and it travelled at a gentle pace, maintaining a feeling of tranquility and gave a chance to see the various memorials. If you want to see a specific memorial, it would be advisable to study the layout online prior to your visit, then ask on arrival for the exact location.
Good, clean cafe and a lovely shop.

Recommended for a family visit - the memorials provide a dignified focal point for remembrance of lives lost. Beautiful trees and lots of benches to take a rest. At the moment there are various activities for children - table tennis, volleyball, basketball net and archery.
Fantastic facilities including a cafe and shop. No charge for entry other than the carpark.

Beautiful place to visit and a great place to respect our Armed forces.
Staff including Vets are friendly and informative.
You can learn a lot in the history of our Armed forces and Emergency services.
You will have to do a few rerun trips to cover all which is not a problem.
R I.P. to all who are remembered and Thank you for your service.

Absolutely beautiful but sad to think of all the lives lost in conflict. They have a lovely cafe and gift shop and a train that takes you round the memorial . Free to go in car park is £4 and you have to book it online.

Lovely place to visit. Many monuments. Lovely scenery, the river follows one edge roughly. Nice shops which include a dog friendly cafe. Fantastic! £6 to park.

This is one of the most beautiful places to visit, it's thought provoking, interesting, sad, joyful and more. The land train is a must, staff are full of information and so friendly. Cafe is reasonably priced, plenty of picnic places. Was there for over 4 hours and didn't see everything so another visit is needed.

A huge site. Could spend a whole day there or maybe more. Very moving place.
There is a big canteen at the entrance and also a small shuttle 'train' that loops round the grounds.

Been a few years since I last there. New builds of the Reception centre and cafe have been greatly enhanced the experience. The gardens and memorials continues to grow and expand

What a lovely surreal place to visit we went with our daughter and grandsons aged 3 & 8 and we all had a lovely time. No where felt crowded as the place is so big and the memorials are fascinating. The 8yr old was asking questions which was lovely and the biggest impression was left by the amazing staff/volunteers whom from the moment we arrived made us all feel welcome and were so friendly and knowledgeable.
We will definitely return and take our dog as we could of spent longer just walking around and sitting on a bench to reflect on everything but after 3 hours and time in the playground the grandkids were ready for the hour journey home.
The cafe was fairly priced and the gift shop had some lovely items at reasonable prices.
