Beloved light trail Christmas at Kew is now open for 2026, wending through the botanic gardens after dark, and glowing them up with dazzling, dancing artworks.
Giant bows, a row of nutcrackers and Candy Cane Lane are among the festive installations this year. Other attractions on the 3km trail see Kew’s trees beautifully illuminated, and a entire field of incandescent flowers.
Naturally, the Instagram-famous tunnel of lights (pictured top) is back, along with other walk-throughs, fake snowfall, and light shows synchronised to music. Here’s a glimpse of what to expect this year:
Christmas at Kew takes place 13 November 2026-3 January 2027. Many dates are already sold out, so be quick if you want tickets.
