Put on your headset and don your best pair of dancing shoes for the first ever silent disco at Kew Gardens!  

In celebration of Pride Month, we are delighted to welcome back Auntie Maureen to the decks after her joyous sets at the Queer Nature After Hours events in October 2023. 

Get ready to dance in the Temperate House and travel the world in this impressive cathedral of plants. Immerse yourself in music for a magical summer’s evening you won’t want to miss.

Our wireless headphones provide the freedom to dance while preserving the tranquillity and serenity of the Gardens. With three simultaneous channels, revel in eclectic music choices that let you switch between DJs and find the rhythm that resonates with you— it's your night, your music, your groove. 

For those wanting a more relaxed experience, you can enjoy classical music or a spoken word piece in the calming environment of the Davies Exploration House.

A full bar is available throughout the night as well as tasty bites.
