At Brookwood, the oldest cemetery in the UK, we're proud to celebrate a momentous occasion. Today marks the 170th anniversary of our historic burial grounds opening its doors for the first time, a testament to the enduring legacy of those who have been laid to rest here.
As you step through the gates, you'll be transported back in time to an era when life was simpler and the world moved at a slower pace. Our beautifully preserved Victorian-era mausoleums stand sentinel over the graves of those who came before us, while our winding paths invite you to explore the stories and secrets that lie within.
And for the first time today, we're hosting The Mizens Railway (2), an immersive experience that will transport you back in time. Join us as we recreate life on the railways of the 19th century, complete with vintage locomotives and railway staff dressed in period attire.
Don't miss this rare opportunity to delve into history like never before. Join us for our special anniversary open day and uncover the secrets of Brookwood Cemetery. We look forward to seeing you there!
