Visit The Poppy Factory this summer and discover the unique story of this 101-year-old charity and community in the heart of Richmond.

Following on from the Coronation of HM King Charles III, The Poppy Factory's expert host will talk about the charity's close connections to the Royal Family, which date back to the 1920s. Learn how the team worked with the Royal Household to create new Remembrance wreaths for the King, Queen and Prince and Princess of Wales. All summer guests will receive a free Coronation bookmark.

You can also enjoy artisan hot drinks, cakes and cupcakes in the café area or blossoming garden terrace.
