A short taster tour taking in the main landmarks, monuments and people of Arnos Vale.  This is an ideal introduction to the 45-acre site for first-time visitors, or as an overview of the site's history for regular visitors.

Please check with the East Lodge reception on the day to confirm that a tour is running.  Then simply turn up, buy a ticket, and go!

Please wear sensible shoes and warm waterproof clothing to this event.

Arnos Vale Cemetery is not a fully accessible site.  This tour route may include some steep slopes, steps and muddy paths.  Find out more about visiting Arnos Vale safely.

The cost from March 2013 is £5 per head (no concessions) and there is no need to book! Tickets are sold from the East Lodge shop on the day.

You may want to check the tour is running before venturing out.  See the list below of all dates.  We do rely on Tour Guide availability and good weather also helps - due to unforeseen circumstances there may be occasions that we are unable to run a tour!

Please check our below for dates that the Taster Tours are running or alternatively ring our Reception on 0117 9719117.

Taster Tours normally run on the 1st, 3rd and 4th Saturday each month, and we are pleased to now offer a NEW Taster Tour on the 2nd Sunday per month. Confirmed dates for these tours are in the highlighted columns
