Kew is famous for hosting their Christmas light trail each year, but this Halloween, trees will twinkle in spookier colours, fire performers will dazzle and enchant, and visitors won’t know what’s lurking in the dark.

As dusk falls, Halloween at Kew will see the Gardens transformed with eerie illuminated trees, ghoulish installations, fire performers and more. A band of actors will haunt the Gardens and bring family-friendly thrills as the light fades, creating a spooktacular evening out for everyone to enjoy. Stumble across a Possessed Pumpkin Farm, wander through an illuminated Spiders Web, survive a sensational storm and discover a neon Carnivorous Tree feeding on unsuspecting skeletons. Witches, scarecrows, vampires and monsters will lurk in the shadows, and you may even stumble upon a headless horseman along the way.

Three sessions each evening offer visitors the option to choose the scare-factor that suits them: Daylight, Twilight and Moonlight.

Each session will have a slightly different feel, with the ghostly goings on gradually increasing as the evening progresses. The darker it gets, the spookier it gets.

  • Adults £20 peak, £17 off peak
