Arnos Vale Cemetery

We had our wedding at Arnos Vale on Wednesday. This stunning and well-looked after venue was the perfect atmosphere for our natural-outdoorsy day.The process was straight forward throughout and they made everything so easy I didn't really have to plan much!Transparent with costs, generosity of staff and professionalism are only some of their benefits.All we had to do was think something and the staff had already done it. They were friendly, professional and fun - they felt more like a part of the day. Everyone commented on how beautiful the venue was and how it was easy not having to move locations as it was all in one space.I'd give 10 stars if I could!

Sculpture Tour: Wonderful way to spend some time:I started walking around Arnos Vale just after look down having also previously been to an outdoor Shakespeare production here.I find the myriad of walkways and paths so calming and the trees foliage and more a great stress reliever and gives me space.I have always though be fascinated by the sculptures, different headstones and more so today took the Sculpture Tour for 90 minutes.So glad we did.The guide was engaging and knowledgeable, and provided history and interest.It was a very hot day but guide sort out places of shade, perfectly timed the walk and provided a great experience.

Beautiful examples of Victorian cemetery sculpture including draped urns, obelisks and angels. A very modern designed cafe offers refreshments too. Wonderful for a gentle stroll.

We had our wedding at Arnos Vale and it was spectacular! A beautiful day, setting and such friendly caring staff. We want to do it all over again!

Just returned from the Morbid Curiosity Tour at Arnos Vale with the amazingly knowledgeable and lovely Emily. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and really didn't want it to end, so interesting to learn about some of the fascinating people buried here, will definitely be back for another!

Arnos Vale Cemetary was where my wife and I decided to get married on the 27th of July 2023. The team were fabulous. Our inital meeting was with Buffy who put us right at ease and answered all of the questions that we had (as we really had no idea where to start). But what we did know is that we wanted an outdoors woodland wedding so this definitely fit the bill.Some time over the past year, Sam has taken over the role as wedding co-ordinator, along with Sophie who are two of the most lovely human beings it has been my pleasure to work with. Right from the off they were very approachable and re-answered some of the questions that we forgot about as a year doesn't seem like a long time but it really is when all the final meetings start to come around.On the day itself, we decided to book out all 3 venues, the underwood for the ceremony, the anglican chappel for food and the spielman center for the reception which just made the whole day flow quite nicely. The Arnos Vale team set up the underwood so that the chairs were out in the morning, and we came in and decorated it with some vine that we purchased from the grounds keepers. We worked with a preferred supplier" for the food which was Epic Caterers and we had the wine delivered the day before and the day could not have gone more smooth. I even developed a stomach ache part way through the day and the team went above and beyond ferrying me mint teas to settle my stomach which was lovely.Communication was amazing and I don't think we could have picked a better team to work with to make our day as amazing as it was.The only warning I would give is that if you are having any guests at your wedding with mobility issues

How have i managed to live in Bristol for 27 years and have gone to this amazing place. Its totally amazing, wonderful walks, fascinating history, a cafe. Will be going back for another trip next week.

Amazingly peaceful part of Bristol. Great for walks and delving into local history. The cafe makes for a lovely little break and there’s loads of events organised which help keep this place going. The themed walks are fantastic.
