Dead men talking: Cemetery tourism then and now (online talk) on 30 April 2025

Wednesday 30th April 2025 6.30-7.30 PM UK time Online

Cemeteries and other burialscapes have long been places of pilgrimage, but they have also been sites of tourism and places of leisure for centuries.  

Take a virtual wander with Arnos Vale staff member Janine through uses of  burial spaces of the past and the present and discover how they have been used by not only the dead but the living.  Find out about medieval pilgrims and their visits to burial spaces, Victorian cemetery guidebooks, picnics and gatherings in deathscapes, and then hear about the 21st century visitors to cemeteries.

About our speaker

Janine Marriott is the Public Engagement Manager at Arnos Vale and runs the tours, talks, family activities, and much much more for visitors both in person and virtual.  She is undertaking a professional doctorate researching how cemeteries encourage visitors and and how 19th century UK cemeteries are changing to ensure their survival.
