From tomorrow (Tuesday January 11), Kew Gardens is opening the gates to its leafy landscapes, exotic plants and romantic greenhouses for only £1 to those who receive Universal Credit or Pension Credit, a reduction of £8.75. This fulfils a promise made by the Royal Botanic Gardens in 2020 when it launched its Manifesto for Change, which aimed to bring prices down and make Kew more accessible to a wider range of people.
Kew is also lowering prices for young people aged 16 to 24, who can now purchase a ticket for £9. Families and other groups also get a discount, with adult tickets costing £15, as long as they are booked at least two days in advance.
The director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Richard Deverell, said: ‘We are really delighted to be able to offer more people a chance to experience the wonder of Kew. We know what a wonderful thing it can be to enjoy a day out in nature and to explore the many corners of our gardens. I sincerely hope lots of people hear about this, avail of the offer and spread the word. Everyone is welcome.’
