RYDE CEMETERY OPEN DAYS 24 & 25 MAY

Ryde Cemetery Open Days
Ryde Cemetery Open Days

We are hosting Ryde Cemetery Open days on 24 & 25 May. All are welcome to a fun, informative and entertaining day.

As part of World War 1 Centenary project we will have exhibitions relating to WW1 and Ryde on the Brink of War.

We will have all are archive folders available for visitors to browse and volunteers on hand to help with any enquiries.

There will be a guided walk of some of the graves with stories about the Great War. There will also be a chance for you to meet some of the ‘characters’ from Ryde, who were involved in the early war efforts, and hear their stories.

We are being joined by our lovely friends GRAVE CONCERNS again this year and you can talk to them about how they can look after and maintain a grave of a loved one for you if you are not able to do the work yourself.

Also members of Ryde Library will be at the event with their collection of WW1 books.

Refreshments will be available on both days. We do hope that you can join us and we look forward to seeing you there.

Admission to the event is Free.
