Glow Wild At Wakehurst, Kew’s Wild Botanic Garden In Sussex

When darkness falls, let the magic begin…

Forming a glittering haven in the heart of Sussex, Wakehurst’s enchanting winter lantern trail Glow Wild returns for 2022. As darkness falls, Kew’s wild botanic garden is transformed with beautifully hand-crafted lanterns and captivating light installations from a host of leading artists. Returning for its ninth year, Glow Wild is an unmissable evening of winter wonder, packed full of surprises and home to UK’s tallest living Christmas tree decorated with 1,800 lights.

This year’s theme celebrates the incredible colour spectrum of the natural world, inviting winter wanderers to explore how we see colour and the role it plays in our daily lives. From infrared to bioluminescence, visitors will experience colour like never before.
As the trail draws to an end, gather with friends and family around crackling firepits to enjoy warming food and drink.

Further new offers for Glow Wild 2022 include adults-only sessions, perfect for a heart-warming date night, or a fun evening out with friends.

Glow Wild runs on selected evenings from 24 November to 1 January. Choose from 12-time slots at 20-minute intervals between 4.30pm and 8.15pm. On select evenings quiet sessions are available from 4.15pm for visitors with hidden disabilities, such as autism.
