OPEN DAY - The Poppy Factory (free event)

Join us for our free open day at the start of Armed Forces Week on Monday 22 June, as our charity celebrates 100 years in Richmond upon Thames.

Members of the public are encouraged to drop in between 10am and 4pm to explore the visitor centre, enjoy tea, coffee and cake, and chat to expert hosts and team members.

Small groups of guests will have the chance to be shown around lesser-seen parts of our historic factory, which first moved to Richmond in 1926 after outgrowing its original premises in Old Kent Road. Remembrance wreaths, Royal Wreaths and large decorative poppies are still produced on site by our dedicated production team.

Guided tours of the building will be subject to availability on the day.

This event is open to all (for ages 7+). Any children that attend must be accompanied by an adult.

No tickets are required, simply show up! Guests are encouraged to contribute towards the charity's national services by making a donation online, and by visiting the café and shop counter with its unique range of gifts.
