Following a hugely popular debut last year, the bewitching event is back for 2025 with a ghostly 1.5 kilometre walk through the Royal Botanic Gardens.
The family-friendly trail kicks off today (October 17) and is running daylight, moonlight and twilight sessions until November 2.
Each session will have a slightly different feel, with the supernatural goings on gradually increasing as the evening progresses. The darker it gets, the spookier it gets!
Created by the same team behind the hugely popular Christmas at Kew, the trail features ghostly installations, bewitching illuminated trees, an abandoned fairground, and ‘living’ corpses along the route.
Visitors to the spine-tingling attraction can expect old favourites and new surprises, from giant spiders to a mycelium-inspired laser display to a mausoleum and even the underworld.
And beware, a terrifying headless horseman and ringmaster, Dr Frankenstein may also be lurking in the bushes.
Adam Thow, Head of Commercial Activities at Kew, said: “We were thrilled with the incredible response to the launch of Halloween at Kew last year, and we’re excited to introduce new thrills for 2025. It’s a fantastic way for families and friends to enjoy the Gardens in a new light and make magical Halloween memories together.”
Tickets start from £18.50 for an adult off peak, and £13 for a child – with family tickets costing from £59 – £72.
Halloween at Kew runs from October 17 until November 2. www.kew.org
