Set against the backdrop of one of the worldās most beautiful gardens, Halloween at Kew is not just a walkāitās an unforgettable seasonal adventure. The 1.5 km illuminated trail is crafted to deliver both wonder and eerie delight, creating a visually stunning, multi-sensory journey through glowing woodlands, haunted installations, and atmospheric soundscapes.
