Discover a thrilling after dark Halloween trail full of hidden surprises. 

This October, Kew Gardens will transform once more into a ghostly, glowing adventure, brought to you by the producers of Christmas at Kew. 

As night falls over the Gardens, explore one of London’s best Halloween events with this eerie illuminated trail.  

Watch out for tricks in the forgotten fairground and beware the monsters lurking in Frankenstein’s laboratory. As you wind through the haunted woods, be careful of giant spiders waiting in creepy cobwebs, ghastly ghouls and wicked witches.  

Fuel your Halloween at Kew stroll with frightfully good food and drink. From freaky fries and hot chocolates to toasted monster marshmallows and hot toddies, there are wickedly delicious treats for everyone.* 

Your very spookiest Halloween starts here. Plan now to secure the date and time of your choice. Please note that Halloween at Kew is a ticketed event, separate from general Kew admission.

Important information

  • There will be limited capacity with timed entry to Halloween at Kew so make sure to plan now to secure the date and time of your choice.
  • There are three different categories to consider when selecting your admission slot. The darker it gets, the spookier it gets.
    • Daylight – sessions up to 6pm. Most suitable for very young ones who need to get back home to bed early!
    • Twilight – sessions from 6pm-7.30pm. The scare level ramps up a notch.
    • Moonlight – sessions after 7.30pm. As scary as it gets (but still suitable for all).
  • The Gardens close at 10pm with last entry at 8.30pm. Please note: Last entry for 8.30pm ticket holders is strictly 8.50pm due to license conditions.
  • Bicycles, tricycles, roller skates, skateboards, micro-scooters, balance bikes and other vehicles (except powered wheelchairs) aren't permitted and must be left at the gates.
  • Please be sure that you have chosen the right entry gate, date and time slot at the time of making your booking, as Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and See Tickets are not able to offer exchanges or refunds once tickets have been purchased.
