Royal Botanic Gardens Kew
Whether you are organising a wedding, party, gala dinner, conference, away day or meeting, Kew’s diversity offers guests an astonishing variety of venues to match your creative vision and production requirements for any event.
Kew offers a number of stunning venues for a wide range of corporate events and parties within easy reach of London. Our world renowned gardens and iconic buildings provide the most unique and unforgettable setting for any event.
Sir Joseph Banks Building is available for dry hire or fully catered and can offer a day delegate conference rate. This light and airy building is a flexible space suitable for conferences, product launches or corporate away days. Entry is via a private atrium and nearby lawns provide a lovely setting for after-conference drinks.
The Temperate House, which is the world’s largest Victorian Glasshouse, provides the perfect setting for a celebratory dinner. With a capacity of 250 for a seated dinner, or 230 for a dinner dance, this must be the ultimate location!
The Nash Conservatory is suitable for events for up to 200 guests. The Princess of Wales Conservatory is typically used for a drinks reception before the guests move on to the Orangery for the evening dinner and dance.
The secluded lawn behind the Nash Conservatory may be used as an outdoor pre-dinner drinks space, weather permitting. Alternatively the Princess of Wales Conservatory is an essential wet weather drinks reception space for events in excess of 120 guests.
Cambridge Cottage is the ideal venue for private events, smaller corporate events and weddings.
The Drawing Room has a capacity for up to 80 guests or delegates. The adjoining Gallery houses botanical artwork and can accommodate the same number for seated dining.
Both the Drawing Room and Gallery open onto the picturesque, secluded Duke’s Garden which is included in your venue hire and is perfect for summer BBQ’s and garden parties.
Cambridge Cottage can accommodate up to 150 guests for a cocktail reception, evening wedding reception or standing fork buffet. The Cambridge Cottage lobby, entrance hall and Ante-room provide additional space to receive guests, and for breakout areas.
