Our first trip to The Garrick even though it’s on our doorstep, will now be regular visitors. We went to see Crimes of the Christmas Pudding which was performed in the smaller Studio. Excellent performance would definitely recommend and the Studio setting was superb.

Visited the arboretum with my sister. It is a very significant place for us. So beautiful and serene. The Christmas carols were beautiful and were a truly wonderful experience.
The arboretum is an absolutely outstanding place.
It is a place to reflect and remember loved ones. You have to visit to understand how much work and effort it takes to keep it looking so beautiful all year round.

Having been here before last year for the remembrance day service, we were here this time for the service on 11th Nov for the 2 min silence, it was very busy and there was a ticketed event going on in the dome, but we stood and watched it with everybody else on the big screen, which was very touching and then watched the march past, the gardens are so well kept and so interesting, each time I have been I am ceased to be amazed that there is always something new to see, it is free to get in, there is a very well stocked restaurant and a small café ample places to sit in the gardens would highly recommend a visit

Free entry, so a lovely day out for family and kids. Car park fees are well kept, and the memorial ground is very clean and pleasant to walk around.

We've been to Ypres & Tyne Cot, but didn't know that England could also do it so well!
Very well laid out, we could see it was always being added to, over 300 memorials so far!
Very emotional walk round, especially the Shot at Dawn memorial, especially when you see the age of some of those young boys that were shot!
£3 to park and no further charges if you don't want to. Nice cafe with good selection of food.
With 150 acres to walk round we'll come back and see a bit more, somewhere EVERY school kid should see!

I took a community group of over 50s to the Arboretum. We were welcomed on arrival and taken to a private room for our pre ordered tea/coffee. We attended the welcome service which included a two minute silence. We then took the land train tour. This was an excellent way to see the Arboretum, especially as some of the group had mobility problems,The commentary was excellent and very informative. It is amazing how much thought has gone into each memorial. For example the one for the police they have planted trees around it that the truncheons are made of. Its this little detail that makes it so special.There are staff/guides all around the Arboretum who are happy to show you round and relay stories of the memorials. We had free time to walk around but acknowledged that there was more than enough to fill a day. We finished off with afternoon tea. The staff were fantastic and on hand to fill up the teapot and milk jugs. NOTHING was too much trouble. If anyone is thinking of bringing a group I can highly recommend it. The service from the booking staff to all of those working at the Arboretum was excellent. We will return!!

I’ve been here a few times and it’s a spectacular place. Very thought provoking and so lovely to see such beautiful memorials to so many of the forces, the emergency services, the police and many others. This visit however, was something we had to book and pay for in advance with an allocated time slot too.
Some considerable time and effort has gone into the illumination of many of the memorials and you followed a set path around them finishing up at the central memorial wall. Here, there were several powerful spotlight beams moving around and shining up into the sky. Very well done and very impressive.

I visited the 'Illuminated Arboretum' event with three other family members on their opening night on Wednesday 12th December. After meeting the family for a quick drink in the restaurant, we headed to the start and began the walk down a torch-lit avenue. Along the route were a number of activities, more suitable for the younger generation, such as a shadow wall and a station to use Morse Code made of colourful LEDs. Of particular poignancy was the votive wood where lit and hung our own light in memory of lost loved ones. There were also refreshments and toilet facilities halfway round the route.
Overall, the place looked stunning with many of the memorials bathed in lights, with the finale being a stunning display of strobe lights over the main Armed Forces Memorial.
I simply love this place and have visited a few times during the day, so it was lovely to see it lit up in the evening looking so different. It's always a tranquil, peaceful place to visit and I'll be back many more times to come.
