About the event
In the lead up to Remembrance Day, you are invited to join us for our first Annual Volunteering Day at Brookwood Cemetery, where we will be helping to maintain the grounds of this beautiful Grade 1 listed, Historic Park and Garden.
This extraordinary cemetery is set in over 220 acres of tranquil grounds, home to many thousands of war graves and burial sites for all faiths; Brookwood is the largest cemetery in the Uk; an iconic, picturesque setting for the many magnificent war memorials which have been built there.
The day will involve helping to clear, cut back, tidy and maintain this remarkable place. We will be working on the Czech Republic burial ground in preparation for the subsequent Remembrance service. There are additional jobs which may involve helping to clear where the old Brookwood railway line - the historic London Necropolis railway - used to run.
Biscuits, cakes and refreshments provided as always but please bring along your own packed lunch.
We hope to see you there!
Please note, this Annual Volunteer Day is for CMP Members only.
