Venue hire that gives back
Arnos Vale Cemetery is a 45-acre Grade II* Listed Park and Garden in Bristol, home to historic buildings, monuments, and a thriving wildlife sanctuary. Recognised as a Site of Nature Conservation Interest, it serves as both a cultural landmark and a green community space. Managed by Arnos Vale Cemetery Trust, we receive no regular government or council funding. Instead, we rely on donations, grants, and income from our café, shop, venue hire, and cemetery services.
Every booking directly supports the preservation and upkeep of this unique heritage site, ensuring it remains open for all to enjoy.
