The Trustees are pleased to announce that the Friends Annual Dinner 2025 will be held at;

the National Memorial Arboretum, Croxall Road, Alrewas, Staffordshire. DE13 7AR

6:30pm, Saturday 10th May 2025.

Regular attendees to the dinner will note the change of venue and timing of the event. These changes will enable attendees to watch an impressive ‘Beating Retreat’ demonstration by a full complement of our Corps of Drums against a backdrop of memorials at our national centre of remembrance close to the eightieth anniversary of VE Day.

This traditional black-tie event will retain the strong military feel of previous years with a distinguished after-dinner speaker plus everyone’s favourite element of the evening, listening to serving cadets describe their experiences.

Invitations and booking details will be sent to you early in the new year but in the meantime, please fix this event in your diary.
