The Friends of Foster Hill Road Cemetery host a number of themed talks during the year, which are open to the public and always prove very popular. The Cemetery records are available at the Chapel during the Heritage Weekend in September and an annual carol concert is held near Christmas. Other events are held to mark special occasions.
Members of the Friends lead several guided walks during the summer months. Each walk is themed and covers topics such as the Cemetery’s spectacular graves, its history, its wildlife, tales of those buried there and more. Walks are also included during the Heritage weekend. The walks last approximately 1.5 hours and the pace is gentle. However, the cemetery grounds are uneven so a pair of stout walking shoes is recommended.
We are also happy to arrange bespoke walks for interested groups, please contact us for details.
The times and dates of our events vary, so please see our events calendar for more details.
The cemetery contains a variety of memorials to military personnel who died in the two World Wars. This walk will take you on a journey to look at the War Graves and other interesting memorials.
Meet at the Chapel about 10 minutes before the start of the walk.
Refreshments will be available after the talk. These are free, but a small contribution to the Friends is always welcome.
The cemetery ground is uneven so please wear appropriate shoes. Please do not lean on the memorials in the cemetery.
