Taken on the 6th August 2025, join us for an orchid spectacular inspired by China, as Kew celebrates 30 years of its much loved orchid festival. The 2026 festival takes inspiration from China’s remarkable biodiversity, heritage and design traditions, filling Kew's Princess of Wales glasshouse with a dazzling array of orchids and large-scale floral installations, as well as a soundtrack by musicians Yijia and mui zyu. Many photographic opportunities here as we wander among dragons, lanterns and intricate plant sculptures that bring to life the beauty and wildlife of one of the world’s most biodiverse countries and experience a burst of colour and warmth in the winter months.
