Orchids After Hours

A highlight of Kew Gardens’ annual orchid festival, this series of late openings invites visitors into the vibrant tropical environs of the Princess of Wales Conservatory after dark for a special evening of entertainment celebrating Peru, the subject country of the 2025 festival. Guests will be able to sample delicious snacks and cocktails crafted by Peruvian chef Ángel Chávez as they take in a series of live music and dance acts hailing from the Latin American country. There’ll also be an opportunity to hear from some of Kew’s resident scientists about the Gardens’ pioneering scientific research projects in Peru, and of course, a chance to get up close to the colourful orchid displays.
