Join us for the most wonderful time of the year at Kew Gardens as our magical winter trail lights up the evening skies for 2022.
Enjoy our annual after-dark festivities with family and friends, as you discover sparkling tunnels of light, dancing waterside reflections, and trees drenched in jewel-like colour on your way to the panoramic Palm House light display.
Journey through the mesmerising flickering flames in the Fire Garden, spot larger-than-life illuminations and say hello to Father Christmas along the way.
Along the route, delicious independent street food vendors will offer tasty festive delights, from hot food and sweet treats to spiced winter warmers and hot chocolate.
Walk under the stars and have yourself a holly, jolly Christmas as seasonal sounds fill the air.
