Kew Wakehurst

With over 500 acres to discover, Kew Wakehurst is home to a dramatic and diverse landscape ranging from managed ornamental gardens, temperate woodlands and is home to our Elizabethan Mansion.

The Mansion is now open with newly restored exhibitions spaces to explore, including the Billiard Room, where immersive storytelling uncovers the layers of Kew Wakehurst’s history, and the Chapel, which traces the origins of the Millennium Seed Bank and the transformation of Wakehurst into a ‘living laboratory’. Visitors can step into the Library, beautifully reimagined as a peaceful retreat where visitors can pause and soak in the Mansion’s unique atmosphere. 

Don’t miss Kew’s Millennium Seed Bank, where you can visit the largest wild seed conservation project in the world where you can see Kew scientists at work and learn about the essential conservation work of plants and fungi. There’s plenty to do for all the family, whether it’s learning about the impressive botanic collection, relaxing with a coffee or letting children run wild in natural play spaces such as Tree Trunk Trek and Wild Wood.

There’s always something to see and do in and around the ever-changing landscape to make each visit stimulating, whatever the season. We are also welcoming your canine companions along our dog-walking route, so you can all enjoy a dog walk with a difference!
