7 February – 8 March 2026
Each spring, the Princess of Wales Conservatory at Kew Gardens becomes a festival of extraordinary blooms, celebrating orchids from around the world in wild, imaginative displays that brighten London’s greyest months.
Inside the iconic glasshouse a tapestry of colour and form unfolds; orchids cascade from every angle, large-scale floral sculptures evoke distant landscapes and wildlife, and each installation offers a fresh way to see nature’s diversity through the lens of horticultural creativity. Every year the festival celebrates a new theme rooted in global biodiversity, bringing together rare and exotic species with immersive design and artistry to captivate both avid plant lovers and curious first-timers alike.
Wander beneath arching blooms and vibrant petals, discover the remarkable resilience and range of the orchid family, and enjoy a moment of calm and wonder amid one of London’s most beloved botanical treasures. Kew’s Orchid Festival is more than a display of flowers; it is a reminder of the beauty of the natural world and the creativity that brings it to life in the heart of the city.
