        New installations for 2021

        Spectacular new shows will light the iconic Temperate House and Palm House, plus there's a first-time collaboration with Novak, the innovative video design studio. Using a selection of spectacular trees from Kew's arboretum as their canvas, Novak will combine video design, projection mapping and light to bring Kew's archived botanical illustrations to life, alongside a host of heart-warming festive imagery.

        Also new is Spheric, a brand new installation by acclaimed creative house Mandylights. Set to a synchronised music track, there will be a 15-metre-wide dome of light covered in over 2,000 individually controlled LED pixels, sitting on a reflective water pool.

        We'll also see the return of sound and light artists, Ithaca, who will create Aurora; a new and ambitious installation for Holly Walk which will illuminate the night sky for over 200 metres overhead, replicating the enchanting visual phenomenon of the Aurora Borealis.

        As soon as you enter the welcome wreath archway you'll encounter a botanical world filled with seasonal cheer and mood-boosting bursts of colour. The much-loved Cathedral of Light returns for 2021, providing the perfect opportunity to capture this quintessential Christmas moment on camera.

        There will also be singing neon trees, sprawling branches illuminated with stars and seasonal festive projections illuminating Kew's heritage trees. Plus, botanical treasures from Kew's living collections will be accentuated along the route.

        The ever-popular Fire Garden returns this year, alongside On the Wings of Freedom, a technicolour LED installation inspired by the unique transformative ability of butterflies. The final stop of the trail, the panoramic Palm House finale, will display a series of stunning projections across the historic glasshouse and adjacent lake, set to a memorable soundtrack of much-loved Christmas classics.
