Kew Science Festival

Don your lab coat, dig out your goggles and meet our scientists as they bring their science out of the labs and into the Gardens with hands-on experiments and fun activities.

Housed within a huge marquee in front of the majestic Kew Palace, families can get stuck into some of the ground-breaking science work that takes place behind the scenes at Kew.

Discover microscopic gardens, clone cauliflowers, digitally scan trees and identify exotic plant species. There'll be activities, games, interactive experiments, talks, and behind-the-scenes tours.

This scientific extravaganza will not only focus on the vital importance of conserving the world’s plant biodiversity, but will bring to life, for all ages, the crucial value of plant and fungal science.
