Summer Lates at Kew Gardens

After the sell-out success of its first ‘Lates’ during the Orchid Festival in February 2015, Kew Gardens is once again opening its gates for six enchanting evenings filled with cocktails, live music and scintillating talks during its Full of Spice festival this summer...

As the days draw to a close, explore the Gardens and immerse yourself in the landscape at Kew. Wind your way through tropical climes in the iconic glasshouses and gain new perspectives of London from the Tree Top Walkway at dusk. Or simply lie on the grass upon one of Kew’s stunning vistas with a refreshing cocktail and enjoy a quiet summer evening.

The Gardens will be Full of Spice during the Kew Lates as we explore the botanical origins of these mystical flavorings during the summer festival. Book a rickshaw ride around the Gardens, devise your own unique blend of spices to take home in the Spice Mix Super-Computer, drop in on a talk by a Kew expert that's rooted in science and history, listen to live music in the Spice Exchange, or seek out the giant spice inflatables dotted round the gardens, all armed with a botanical cocktail.

The Kew 'Lates' are a truly unique and inspiring way to spend an evening, like no other in London: in the great outdoors boasting beauty, music, creativity, science and more.
