 Open Day, Saturday, 9 August, 10am-12 noon

The Friends of the Victorian Cemetery volunteers invite you to an open morning at the Victorian Cemetery & Arboretum at Marlborough Common.

Starting at 10am with an introduction to the activities on offer, there will be lots to get involved with.

• For the little ones there will be a discovery quiz and the chance to build a bug hotel or help to create habitat piles
• Hear a little about the history of the Cemetery and our plans for the future
• Cold refreshments
• Take a tour - there will be leaflets and maps showing where the wildflowers are planted and naming the specimen trees
• Bring along your gardening gloves and small tools such as secateurs and join the Friends with a little weeding and pruning, or litterpicking

Why not bring a camp chair and a picnic and enjoy the peaceful, birdsong filled space after the activities finish at 12?
