Spicy Saturdays- Kew Gardens Full of Spice Festival

Spices are put in the spotlight this summer at Kew, with the Full of Spice festival running from May through to September.

You can trade ideas, stories, recipes and remedies at The Spice Exchange, an extraordinary timber pavilion interlaced with thousands of spice jars designed and produced by Wayward. Beneath its unique cantilevered roof, The Spice Exchange houses a kiosk run by The East India Company an exhibition space, an open-air theatre and a participatory story exchange.

Every second and fourth Saturday of June through to the end of August, Wayward have curated a programme of Spicy Saturdays that follow the Ancient Spice Trade Route from East to West. Each event will visit a different world region, featuring speakers, storytellers, performances, food demonstrations and workshops that blend history, mythology, travel and cooking.
