Nature walks on Friday 10 April

In partnership with H&F Council, we have 2 guided nature walks on Friday 10 April:

Butterfly & Bird Walk 2pm – 3.30pm

Join H&F and the Fulham Cemetery Friends as we record all the birds and butterflies we can spot! This walk will be led by a H&F ecologist, who will teach you fun facts about these animals and how to identify them. This walk will last anywhere between 45 minutes to an hour and a half. You don't have to join for the whole walk and no prior experience is necessary. 

Meet at the chapel at 2pm. Registering for the event is not essential but is preferred due to popularity. Sign up for the nature walk here.

Note: This walk will be cancelled if there is bad weather. Email Ecology@lbhf.gov.uk if you’d like to check for cancellation. Well behaved dogs & children are welcome. Dress appropriately for the weather.

Bat Walk 7.35pm – 8.45pm

Join H&F and the Fulham Cemetery Friends for a walk around Fulham Cemetery at dusk to spot our local bats! This walk will be led by a H&F ecologist, who will teach you fun facts about bats and how to use 'bat detectors' to listen to them.

Meet at the chapel at 7.30pm. Registering for the event is not essential but is preferred due to popularity. Sign up for the bat walk here.

Note: This walk will be cancelled if there is rain or if it drops below 11 degrees. Email Ecology@lbhf.gov.uk if you’d like to check for cancellation. Well behaved dogs and children are welcome, so long as they are supervised. Dress appropriately for the weather & bring a handheld torch (a smartphone torch will work). Please note bats are protected species and we will not be handling them - just watching and listening!

5 new trees planted

Our efforts to restore the cemetery's historic crabapple tree avenues are bearing fruit. On Monday 16 March 2026, we planted 4 native European crabapple trees (the "crabtree" of so many local place names), and one medlar tree. You will find them on the southeast and south paths. Thanks very much the Veolia Sustainability Fund, H&F Council's arboricultural officer, and Red Squirrel who did the planting.

Blossom walk on Sunday 29 March 2026 at 2pm

Our next public event will be a guided walk around the cemetery on Sunday, 29 March at 2pm. In association with the Fulham Society, Francois and Rebecca from the Fulham Cemetery Friends will share their knowledge about the cemetery's most interesting memorials and trees, during the peak of the cherry blossom season. The walk is free and open to visitors of all ages, and takes approximately an hour. Some of the route is off the paved paths, so may be unsuitable for those with mobility difficulties. 

Meet at the chapel by 1.45pm for a 2pm start. 

New 3D model of the chapel

In January 2026 we commissioned a digital 3D model of the chapel (exterior and interior), which can be viewed on Sketchfab. This uses a process known as photogrammetry, which stitches together a three-dimensional model from thousand of still photos. Thanks very much to David Fletcher, who has created over a 1,000 heritage models around the UK. Thanks also to the volunteers who spruced up the chapel interior, and to the H&F Film Office for granting permission.

New tree and grave labels

We have added an additional 20 information labels to trees, to help visitors to the cemetery learn more about our trees. And for the first time, we have also added information labels to some notable graves.
