  • Book on one of the fascinating General, Catacombs or Specialist tours of the Cemetery which will be running throughout the day.
  • Come and meet the Chelsea Pensioners at their stand, get some dog grooming advice or get your bike marked by the police!
  • Refreshments will be available from the Cafe, and there will also be vans and stalls selling food and drinks.
