Join us for a free tour of Wolverton Cemetery. Join the Commonwealth War Graves Commission for a free tour of Wolverton Cemetery, led by one of our experienced volunteer tour guides. Our tours are free to the public, but if you would like to support us then please consider donating to our charity The Commonwealth War Graves Foundation (CWGF). https://foundation.cwgc.org/donate/ MEETING POINT at main entrance off Woburn Avenue. During the tour you will learn about the history of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission and about the heroic actions and self-sacrifice of some of our casualties in the cemetery. This cemetery is the final resting place of six First World War and three Second World War casualties commemorated by the CWGC. A number of these service personnel had strong local connections, living in the area and in several cases being employed at the nearby Wolverton railways works. The tour lasts approx. 60 mins and covers about 400 metres on paths and grass with uneven ground. Limited on-road parking is available. There are no facilities or toilets on site. Please bring water if required. Wheelchair users and pushchairs are welcome but will need to stay on the main paths within the cemetery. Please dress for the weather and wear suitable footwear. Only assistance dogs are allowed in the cemetery. Please note there can be last minute cancellations. This can be due to various reasons including illness, site issues and weather. We will email you as soon as we can, but this could include the morning of the tour, so please check your emails prior to leaving for the tour. The Commonwealth War Graves Foundation (CWGF) aims to actively engage all communities with the work of the CWGC by telling the inspiring stories through education and outreach projects.
