What’s On in Kew This Winter: Events, Markets & Pub Nights

Winter in Kew is full of magic — from sparkling lights to festive markets and cosy community events. Whether you’re visiting for the day or you’re a local looking for something new, there’s always plenty happening during the colder months. Here’s our round-up of the best things to do in Kew this winter.

‍

Kew Gardens Winter Lights

The highlight of the season has to be the Kew Gardens Christmas Lights Trail. Each year, the gardens are transformed into a breathtaking display of colour and creativity. Expect glowing tunnels, illuminated trees, and magical art installations — a must-visit for families, couples, and friends alike.

📍 Tip: Book your tickets early as this event often sells out.

Winter Markets and Shopping

Local markets in Kew, Richmond, and nearby Chiswick are the perfect places to soak up festive spirit. With handmade gifts, delicious street food, and mulled wine to keep you warm, they’re a wonderful way to spend a weekend. Keep an eye out for special Christmas markets too, packed with seasonal treats and decorations.

Cosy Pub Nights at The Greyhound

At The Greyhound Kew, we love being part of the community’s winter celebrations. Throughout the season, we’ll be hosting festive pub nights with seasonal food, warming drinks, and plenty of good cheer. Whether it’s a Christmas gathering, a quiz night, or just an evening by the fire with friends, our pub is the perfect spot to escape the chill.

Local Arts & Entertainment

Winter is also a great time to explore local theatre and music. The surrounding area often hosts festive performances, carol concerts, and pantomimes — great for family outings or a festive date night. Richmond Theatre, in particular, offers a fantastic seasonal programme.
