| Public Guided Tours |
One of the best ways to explore Arnos Vale is to take one of our scheduled tours with an experienced volunteer guide.
Our programme of tours runs from March through to November and tour themes vary according to the season, offering insight into local history, people's lives, wildlife and beautiful architecture that can be found in the 45 acres of garden cemetery.
Public tours run every Saturday at 1:30pm. Tickets are £5 per person and tours last between 45 minutes to an hour and a half, depending on the tour theme. We also offer public tours on special evenings and early mornings through the year. Tickets for these tours start at £7 per person.
Some tours can be extremely popular and tour numbers are restricted so it is advisable to book your tickets in advance.
