Christmas at Kew Gardens

As night falls this winter, Kew gardens transforms into a glittering festive wonderland, with a sparkling path that winds its way one mile through the world-famous botanic gardens, lit by thousands of Christmas lights.

Now in its sixth year, Kew is once again preparing to transform into a winter wonderland with brightly coloured laser beams dancing over water and fairy-tale avenues of flora, a fire garden and our favourite vintage rides (including a helter-skelter, boat swings and carousel).

Stay warm with a mug of hot chocolate, mulled wine or spiced cider as you take in the heat from the roasting pits, before moving on to meet the man of the moment himself in Kew's North Pole village and watch the stunning light display over the pond.

A word from the wise: like all good Christmas outings, Kew's festive wonderland gets busy. So, wrap up warm, prepare to be patient, and maybe buy some extra mulled wine to make the queues go faster.
