FEBRUARY-MARCH Orchids at Kew
Every year, Kew showcases Orchids from a part of the world where these delicate plants grow. In the past few years, visitors have been treated to displays from Indonesia (2020), Costa Rica (2022) and Cameroon (2023), all housed in the Prince of Wales Conservatory. We recommend a full day at Kew to explore all that this fantastic garden has to offer. Camellias at Chiswick House Enjoy the stunning display of rare Camellias in the restored Victorian Conservatory at Chiswick House. Brought by ship from China, where they have been cultivated for centuries, they are one of the oldest collections under glass in Europe. Chiswick House makes a good half day visit, quite handy on the way home. MARCH Royal Albert Hall Mountbatten Festival of Music. The outstanding versatility of some of the world’s finest military musicians are given the “West End” treatment with spectacular lighting effects.
