Sunday 1 July saw a new and refreshed Open Day at the cemetery with a wide range of activities and information on offer. Despite soaring temperatures, we were thrilled to see up to 300 visitors come through the gates to explore and take part. Highlights included fantastic turn-outs for all of our programmed walks and talks, along with engaging and positive conversations about the Heritage Lottery Fund bid future plans. 

Our thanks to Ruth Davey from Look Again, Dr Iain Boulton, Roy Vickery from South London Botanical Institute, A Yeatman & Sons, Brompton Cemetery, Friends of West Norwood Cemetery, West Norwood FEAST and the Bereavement Services staff for helping to deliver a great event.
