Events at Kensal Green

Events

Tickets for special events must be booked in advance. Availability is limited, so please book early to avoid disappointment. 

Tours keep to the main paths, but sensible shoes -- and protection from sun or rain as the day demands -- are advisable.

Visitors are politely reminded that Kensal Green is a working cemetery which still conducts funerals daily, and that the bereaved may be visiting the graves of family or friends: those who come tours and events are requested to dress and behave with respect and consideration for all those in the cemetery on the day.

Visitors are welcome to take still photos of monuments and landscape for personal reference.  Representatives of the Friends of Kensal Green Cemetery may take photographs of the event which will be used for FoKGC publicity purposes.  Visitors are asked to let us know if they do not wish any photograph including a facial image of themselves to be used. 

Formal permission is required for commercial photography and the use of models, amateur or professional, and for recording, filming and/or broadcasting of any kind, including webcasting: please contact the General Cemetery Company (www.kensalgreencemetery.com) directly for further information.

For further information and all tours and events enquiries, please contact Irina Porter (Trustee, Tours and Events) via tours@kensalgreen.co.uk
