Brookwood Cemetery, Cemetery Pales, Brookwood, Woking, Surrey, GU24 0BL
We are hosting a day of free family-friendly activities on Saturday 12 September across Brookwood's military and civilian cemeteries.
Activities will include:
• Self-guided walks
• Refreshments at The Brookwood Cemetery Society lodge and designated grass picnic areas
• A rare peek inside some of our historic mausoleums. The doors will be open allowing you to see what lies beyond their protective gates
Please note
Dogs are not allowed in the main civilian cemeteries (north and south cemeteries). This is to ensure the cemetery remains a place of peace and tranquillity for all visitors, especially the bereaved. The site also has a wealth of wildlife interest, including deer, which we are keen to protect.
