The Arboretum is the UK’s leading year-round centre of Remembrance and a proud part of the Royal British Legion. Spread across 150 acres, it is home to more than 350 memorials, including the nationally significant Armed Forces Memorial, paying tribute to the service and sacrifice of those who have served and continue to serve our country. The site is also filled with around 30,000 maturing trees and a wealth of wildlife, making it a beautiful and peaceful place to reflect. Each year, the Arboretum attracts around 300,000 visitors, many of whom attend over 200 events held throughout the year.

In March 2017, the National Memorial Arboretum opened its new award-winning Remembrance Centre, offering an even more powerful and immersive experience for all those who visit. This truly is a special place - a living memorial that honours the dedication and sacrifice of our Armed Forces community.

National Memorial Arboretum is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive organisation, reflecting the diversity of the armed forces community and of wider society. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and personal characteristics.
