Poppy Factory

About

The Poppy Factory will mark 100 years in Richmond upon Thames in 2026. Its iconic Art Deco building opened in 1933 and a unique, supportive community was established on the surrounding estate. Today, a small team makes Remembrance wreaths by hand, and the charity supports veterans and families on the path to employment across the UK. A new visitor centre opened in 2021 after a full refurbishment.
