If you’re looking for an experience to remember for your next team away day, The Poppy Factory is the ideal destination.

Bring your group to our visitor centre in stunning Richmond upon Thames. Discover the extraordinary story of our factory community and its role in Remembrance. Work together as you try out wreath and poppy-making.

By booking your team visit to The Poppy Factory, you’ll help us support today’s veterans to overcome barriers to employment across England and Wales.

Hosting your group

Team visits run for 90 minutes. Your team can look forward to a private, personalised 30-minute presentation and Q&A with our expert host. You’ll have the chance to explore our exhibition, enjoy cake and refreshments in our historic setting and learn about the Royal and special wreaths that have been made on site since the 1920s.

Our veterans and volunteers will instruct and guide your team members as you learn how to make the poppies and wreaths that are produced year-round in our factory.

You’ll also learn about the difference your contribution has made to the Armed Forces community.

Working for a brighter future

For more than 100 years, our charity has offered life-changing employment support for veterans with mental and physical health conditions.  The first of these came to work in the factory.

Today, our services reach into communities across the UK, helping hundreds of veterans and family members to overcome barriers and move towards all kinds of employment each year.

With your team’s support, we’ll help more people whose lives have been affected by time in Service to rebuild their confidence and enjoy a brighter future.
