The Poppy Factory

See the making of Remembrance poppies and wreaths with this fascinating trip.

Arrival: 12.15
Departure: 15.30

The Poppy Factory has been an integral part of Richmond since the 1920s. Today they still make Remembrance products in the factory, and support veterans into all kinds of employment across England and Wales.

Join us for a tour as we discover the home of Remembrance poppies and wreaths, see how veterans still make Royal and regimental wreaths by hand today, and enjoy a cup of tea and cake during your visit.

On the journey home we visit Longacres garden centre for a late lunch and the chance to browse.

Price includes:

Return luxury coach travel, guided tour, refreshments at the museum, and lunch at Longacres.

My Friend and I have just returned from an amazing trip to the Dutch bulb fields, which was just so enjoyable, made even more so by your lovely driver Russ, and Caroline, who really do make your day with their banter, and their professionalism. I am very much looking forward to another trip next year hopefully. By the way, lovely new coach, so comfy and nice to have some leg room for a change! All in all thankyou for an amazing holiday
