Please click here to view a Map of Jodrell Gate: http://www.kew.org/how-get-jodrell-gate
Kew staff will greet you at Jodrell Gate. The Late event takes place exclusively in the Princess of Wales Conservatory which is a very short walk through the Gardens from Jodrell Gate. Stewards will show you where to go.
Regrettably The Princess of Wales Conservatory is not fully accessible. Wheelchairs are permitted inside the Conservatory but mobility scooters are unfortunately not permitted. Kew has made every endeavour to ensure that the majority of the Lates activities are accessible, whilst working within the sometimes limiting parameters of staging an event in an architecturally complex building.
The Gardens will close at 17.30 (16.15 on Thursday 9 February) on the dates of the Lates events and Lates event ticket holders visiting the Gardens on those days will need to leave the Gardens at or before 17.30 and re-enter between 18.00 and 21.00
