Chiswick House Camellia Festival

The Chiswick House camellia collection contains rare and historically important examples of these spring-flowering plants, including 'Middlemist's Red', thought to be one of only two surviving examples in the world. The collection is housed in the recently restored, Grade I-listed conservatory. Family activities, including origami and poetry (£1 per child), take place Feb 21-25 and then every weekend until the end of the festival.
