Events & Activities
Arnos Vale Cemetery hosts several events a year. Prominent amongst these are the observance of Remembrance Day in November and a tribute to the Rajah Rammohan Roy in September, however, events do take place over the entire year. Arnos Vale staff and volunteers organise activities in the cemetery across the full spectrum of public interest: heritage, wildlife and family history. Be sure to check this space often: the latest events will always be heralded here.
