Aspects at the National Memorial Arboretum is a brand new contemporary facility providing seven flexible spaces for between 12 and 500 guests.

The new dedicated events building which opened in October 2018, boasts a spectacular main suite with inspirational views across the Arboretum and Armed Forces Memorial, providing a remarkable location for conferencing and events.

Located on the edge of the National Forest in Staffordshire, the Arboretum provides a central meeting point with a unique difference; it's meaning, its national significance and its stunning landscape.

The Arboretum's extraordinary setting offers the opportunity to shed the constraints of the corporate world; to shift perspective, make space to think differently, spark creativity and foster feelings of inspiration, awe and gratitude.

Each memorial has a story to tell and many represent remarkable acts of leadership, tenacity and teamwork. A positive inspiration, they can be used to enhance away days or training programmes to empower, motivate and inspire employees.

Our boardroom Hornbeam holds 12 boardroom/16 theatre with views across to Heroes' Square, our beautiful cloistered courtyard.

Each of our syndicate rooms have integrated HD screens and can be joined together to create spaces for 12 - 32 boardroom, or 16 - 60 theatre.

This memorial arboretum totally out weighed our expectations. A place of peace and respect and hundreds of incredibly designed memorials large and small covers over a hundred acres. You will find many ex service men on your walk who volunteer to help you find a certain memorial or tree and freely give information about the Service men and women and everyday people who gave their lives for peace. It’s free to enter and offers so much. Enjoy.

We went here as my wife has wanted to visit it for a while. An amazing place, sad and very thought provoking but beautiful. The grounds are maintained lovely. The volunteers are super friendly/knowledgeable and very helpful.

Decided it was about time we visited as on our doorstep. What a beautiful place. Staff helpful and good cafe. Statues incredible . Pretty cold on the day especially at the top, but will be back when trees in leaf. Even found a couple of names who might be a relation. Can walk a lot or little train. It is free entry and can make a donation. Parking cheaper online.

Went with my son in law who is also a vet and posed in front of my regimental badge and other photos. What an inspiring place to visit, immaculate, beautiful, full of memories and history walking around seeing the inscribed monuments, very well worth a visit. More than 5 star with a great restaurant and parking for everyone. Enjoyed the day fully.

We've been several times and each time we learn something new, with references to look up when we're home. It's a thought-provoking location which, to my mind, handles the personal subject of memorials in an extremely sympathetic way. Each memorial has been designed by the group concerned, all have meanings, some obvious, some hidden, and many very clever, intertwining the story of the group into the memorial itself. It's a place full of sobriety, memories and wonder which I could never tire of visiting. I thoroughly recommend the buggy tour - it's well worth the £5 and gives an insight into a portion of the memorials on the tour.

Surprisingly family friendly experience. We took our six year old and two year old for a visit and weren't sure whether it would be interesting enough for them. Fortunately the land train was exciting enough for them whilst allowing the adults the chance to see the 'grown up stuff'. There's also a couple of playgrounds to keep the kids happy. The restaurant was very nice and reasonable value, especially when the profits go to a good cause. We didn't visit the exhibition, but overheard people speaking highly of it. Overall a good family day out and we'll probably look to visit again when next in the area.

A very special place to visit with so many memorials to view, set against beautifully landscaped gardens. Entrance is free but donations are welcome so they can continue to keep it free for everybody. There is a land train which takes you through the gardens with occasional stops. There is a commentary on-board which is very interesting but you have to pay a small fee for this service. The centerpiece is The Wall where the names of servicemen and women that died serving their country are inscribed. It is a very peaceful and thoughtful place and a must for all to visit. There is a cafe serving hot and cold food and the car park is free.
