The CWGC Visitor Centre lets you go behind the scenes of the remarkable work we undertake to maintain British and Commonwealth cemeteries and memorials around the world. Located in Beaurains, France, in the heart of the former Western Front, our Visitor Centre spotlights our highly skilled craftsmen, carpenters, stonemasons, mechanics, and blacksmiths. Their tireless efforts ensure our sites globally are kept to the high standards and beautiful aesthetics associated with CWGC sites. This is your chance to see the inner workings of one of the world’s foremost commemoration organisations. Our free audio tour is an in-depth guide to every aspect of our work: from how we still recover and rebury the dead of the World Wars, to our highly skilled craftsmen’s vital role in maintaining and caring for the most impressive and recognisable war cemeteries and memorials worldwide.
