Events

Every year we hold a Public Open Day in June for the general public and it is also a chance to catch up with old friends we have met through our work here. We have a Memorial Gathering in September also open to the general public and then in November we hold our Friends and Family Group work morning, lunch and AGM which has grown over the years from a small group on site all day to its current form.

We also go out to promote the burial ground at other events, have held a folk concern up there and supported other initiatives such as forensic research based at Cranfield who want to develop better techniques to help the police.
