Yes. Every year the Memorial Day ceremony is on the same date as in the USA.

Unfortunately we do not generally allow dogs on site, only assist dogs. Our car park is in woodland and shaded, if that helps.

Just to confirm, there is neither a gift shop, nor café. However, the 4000sq foot exhibition in the Visitor Centre is open throughout the year and warm in winter.

The flag is raised by the time that the cemetery opens at 09:00. It is lowered to 'Taps' at 16:30 every day. Visitors are encouraged to help fold the flag in the way that is traditional for the US flag.

When the Americans entered the war a number of sites were earmarked as temporary cemeteries. In the end, only three were used: Lisnabreeny in Northern Ireland; the First World War American Cemetery at Brookwood, Surrey; Cambridge, on land donated by the University. After the war it was decided to use Cambridge as the site of the Permanent cemetery because : 1. It was a place of tourism then as it is now, with good communication links. 2. It is a beautiful position, looking our over the flatlands of East Anglia where the huge network of airfields were built. 3. Those building and working from the airfields stayed at their locations for a while and got to know their local neighbours. This was a special relationship that endures today, down the generations.

We are open all day, every day between 9:00 - 17:00, except for New Year's Day and Christmas Day.

As with all cemetery sites, there is no café facility here.

Hop-On Hop-off Sightseeing bus or the Number 4 Service Bus.

The post code is CB22 7PH, but unfortunately this directs satnavs to a small industrial estate. However, there are signs along the A428.
