After the sell-out success of our 2015 inaugural Kew Lates, the Princess of Wales Conservatory will once again throw open its doors after dark for a series of intimate evenings amid the thousands of tropical flowers of our Orchid Festival. Throw yourself into a real celebration of Brazil, its striking plant life and the exotic, colourful and vibrant atmosphere of the annual Carnival of Brazil.

Dive into the spirit of the night with Caipirinhas and other dangerously delicious Brazilian cocktails, while you tease your taste buds even further with an array of Brazilian food.

Enjoy an evening like no other in London, filled with botanical cocktails, inspiring talks, music, food, samba and more, all among a riotous display of tropical flowers within a luscious Kew glasshouse after dark. Tickets must be pre-booked.
