Running between 6th February to 7th March 2027, groups are invited to admire the vibrant horticultural displays on offer.
The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, has announced groups can book their tickets to next year’s Orchid Festival with discounted rates for 15 or more.
Each year the Princess of Wales Conservatory is transformed for the festival which celebrates the diversity of a particular country’s plants and wildlife.
With more than 260 years of history, Kew Gardens is said to be one of the largest botanical gardens in the UK with around 50,000 plants, housing thousands of tropical and temperate orchid species in their glasshouses.
What to expect
The 2026 Orchid Festival was themed around China’s biodiversity and natural beauty of the region. It marked the 30th such event for Kew Gardens; the festival has evolved from a modest showcase into a landmark celebration and now also tells exciting stories of Kew’s global scientific and conservation partnerships.
The theme for 2027, will be announced in due course. Previously, locations including Costa Rica, Thailand and India have shown breathtaking gardens of spring bulbs and flower displays honouring their respective cultures.
Visitors to the event will be able to explore the greenhouse and view the botanical collection, which will include a wide range of orchids as well as other plants.
