Arnos Vale Cemetery Trust is the Charitable Trust that now manages the cemetery.

Arnos Vale Cemetery is a magnificent 45 acre Victorian garden cemetery in the centre of Bristol. It was established in 1837 and is the resting place of over 300,000 Bristolians. It is one of the earliest, best and only known fully restored examples of a Victorian "Arcadian" Garden cemetery.

It was restored with the generous and much appreciated support of the Heritage Lottery Fund, Bristol City Council and English Heritage and to a very large number of smaller, but no less valued, charities, companies and private individuals including Biffaward and the Spielman Charitable Trust. A fuller list of benefactors appears on our website. Restoration was completed in May 2010.

Arnos Vale Cemetery Trust is wholly reliant on public support and donations for the ongoing running and maintenance of the site. Arnos Vale is open throughout the year and is free of charge to enter.

Some events, tours, talks and music performances carry a small charge.
