The 150-acre National Memorial Arboretum - located on the edge of the National Forest in Staffordshire - is a registered charity which exists to ensure the following: that the unique contribution of those who have served and sacrificed is never forgotten; that the baton of Remembrance is passed on through the generations; that there is a year-round space available in which to celebrate lives lived and commemorate lives lost. The site features 400 memorials nestled amongst 25,000 trees and hosts around 250 events per year. Included among these are services to commemorate Armistice Day, Remembrance Sunday and Armed Forces Day.
