Description

Step into a world of wonder this festive season with Christmas at Kew. Located at Kew Gardens in Richmond, follow the magical light trail and be awed by the stunning sights and sounds.

Starting at the gate of your choice, you can walk at your leisure through the Gardens, following along the specially curated light trail.

With spectacular new creations from worldwide artists, the 2025 trail promises to be the most amazing yet! The impressive illuminations are something to behold and will make for an unforgettable time with family and friends. You might even spy Santa Claus along the way.

As you follow the beautiful trail, you'll find a range of delicious food and drink stalls, should you want something to warm you up as you wander. From hot dishes and sweet treats to hot chocolate and old favourites, there is something for everyone to enjoy. There is also a food court and the Pavilion Bar & Grill, which will be open for walk-ins.

Get into the holly, jolly spirit as you experience unique creations never-before-seen in the UK. A world of colour will explode before your very eyes, and the sky will sparkle with twinkling lights. Rug up and enjoy a wonderful time at Christmas at Kew.
