If you are able, share your photographs and memories by Friday 21st, so that we can gather them all together in time for the day.

Getting there

There is free parking on Miller Road and the surrounding streets on Sundays. Paid parking is available at Morden Hall Park and Abbey Mills if you would rather not walk.

What to wear and bring

Wear something that reminds you of Mum. Nothing formal is needed, and nothing new.

The walk and the service are outdoors and the ground can be muddy, so sturdy footwear is wise. Bring a picnic blanket or a folding chair to sit on during the service.

If the weather turns

If it is particularly poor we will not walk to Morden Hall. We will meet at the William Morris pub instead and hold the service there.

Getting round the day

The walk is largely flat, though it is a few miles and there are a few steps and some uneven ground. If you would rather not walk you are very welcome to travel by bus or car between the locations, joining us for the service at Morden Hall and the reception at the pub. There is parking at each.

In lieu of flowers, Mum would have preferred donations to the Ruth Hayman Trust.

She was not religious, but people of all faiths are warmly welcome to pay their respects in keeping with their own traditions.

Children, too, are welcome. She would have wanted everyone included.

Let us know you’re coming

It helps us with numbers for the buffet!

Leave your memory

We are gathering everyone’s memories into a book in Mum’s honour. Please give us a story that makes you smile, an adventure you had together, or a kindness she showed.

Handwritten if you can: write it out, photograph the page, and add it here. Typed is just as welcome.
