Princess of Wales Conservatory
Stunningly illuminated after dark, the Princess of Wales Conservatory offers a chance to travel the world within a single glasshouse – a truly unique setting for any event.

The Princess of Wales Conservatory is the most complex glasshouse at Kew.
Stunningly illuminated after dark it offers a unique event experience, allowing guests to enjoy a drinks and canapé reception whilst exploring the glasshouse and wandering through different climates.



The Princess of Wales Conservatory is an easy distance from all our venues and works perfectly for a post conference drinks reception in conjunction with Cambridge Cottage or the Sir Joseph Banks Building. Alternatively, you could consider using the glasshouse as a pre-dinner drinks reception space when combined with the Orangery or Temperate House.
