Always enjoy a visit just to remember family who fought and were lost in conflict. Such a wonderful peaceful place and lovely facilities. My recent visit with my son and granddaughter was to the Guiding Lights show which was very good. Some clever interactive pieces delighted my granddaughter and the music was great. Well done!

Illuminations for Christmas were nice, but I’ve definitely been to better for the price.
Not enough choice of food outlets in my opinion, and although it has to be dark for the lights to look their best, the safety of the walkways in such darkness was questionable. Particularly for those vulnerable to falls.

Light show was amazing and staff really friendly.
So much to see and will re-visit again in day light.

Always nice to come visit, such a brilliant way to remember all those who have their lives and in such a lovely setting.
We have been many times and finally managed to do the Illuminated Arboretum experience which was magical. We were very lucky with the weather too.
Highly recommended for anyone especially if you have friends or relatives in the armed forces.

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).
