Carols by Candlelight at the National Memorial Arboretum

The Alrewas venue said a festive food and gift fair and the Carols by Candlelight sessions would no longer take place in December as planned.

However, the Illuminated Arboretum event will still go ahead.

A spokesperson for the arboretum said:

> “It’s with a heavy heart that, due to the current pandemic, we have had to review our Christmas programme.  
>  
> “Our Illuminated Arboretum event, which will allow social distancing, will run for an additional evening instead.  
>  
> “We apologise for any disappointment this causes, but the safety and wellbeing of our visitors and team members is of paramount importance.  
>  
> “We are still reviewing our Remembrance events in line with Government regulations and will provide an update as soon as we are able to.”
