The walk begins promptly at the Heritage Centre (the first building by the entrance) and lasts approximately 75 minutes. We encourage visitors to allow extra time before or after the walk to explore the Heritage Centre exhibition and the historic funerary buildings at their own pace.
A limited amount of parking is available on site.
Wheelchairs can be provided upon request.
No dogs, with the exception of guide dogs.
Please note: All attendees are required to bring valid photo ID to the event. We reserve the right to refuse entry to anyone who cannot provide valid identification or at the discretion of event management for any reason deemed necessary to maintain the safety and integrity of the event.
If you would like to book two or more tickets, please book separately, as we need individual details for all attendees.
Our guided walks are £10 to join, with concessions for Seniors and Students of £8. Charging for Guided Walks allow us to keep doing what we do - sustaining the new House of Life visitor experience, and making the cemetery’s heritage and stories accessible to people from all backgrounds.
