Sensory tours

Designed for visitors with a visual impairment and their carers. This sensory experience gives you the chance to explore the Gardens through touch, smell, and description. Join us for a sensory guided walking tour, led by one of Kew’s specially-trained tour guides. Each tour is different to take in seasonal highlights across the Gardens. These tours are free, and free entry to the Gardens is included for visitors with a visual impairment and their carers. Places are limited so please register in advance to avoid disappointment. Please attend with any essential carer or support, who will also receive free entry. Below, you can watch an audio-described film of a Kew sensory tour, with broadcaster, writer and RBG Kew Ambassador Konnie Huq and Eleanor Stollery, an actor, voiceover artist and disability advocate. We can only accommodate a limited number of people per tour, so registering is essential. Please register in advance by emailing discovery@kew.org with your name, contact email, and postcode.
