Sampad at NMA 25th Anniversary Weekend

For 25 years, The National Memorial Arboretum’s community has remembered, reflected, told stories, sung loudly, stood silently, made memories, remembered lives lost, and celebrated lives lived, together.

The 25th Anniversary Weekend will honour this journey with two unique days of vibrant performances, reflective moments and powerful storytelling. NMA will celebrate the milestones, voices and experiences that have shaped their story so far, whist creating new memories.

On Saturday 16th May 10am – 5pm, the day will be dedicated to honouring the stories of Armed Forces service shared through the memorials around the Arboretum.
On Sunday 17th May 10am – 5pm, NMA partners will take to the stage to celebrate the community formed here over more than 25 years. Across the weekend visitors can expect performances from Black Voices, Sampad, community choirs, military bands, Talent in the Ranks, and Arboretum Poet-In-Residence Arji Manuelpillai.

Free. A full detailed timetable will be shared ahead of the event.
