Blow away the cobwebs and start the new year with a visit to the ever-popular Kew Gardens. It may be cold but the Gardens are still thriving with winter greenery. Take a stroll down Holly Walk near the Temperate House to see one of Europe’s most comprehensive holly collections, planted in 1874.

FREE Creative Digital Photography
20th January – 31st March (1pm – 3pm)
This course will help you to explore the creative potential of your smartphone and/or tablet and develop an understanding of how to see the world with a ‘photographer’s eye’.
WALK and Talk Tour with Chris Barlow – Imperial War Museum
26th January (11am)
The Museum houses a very impressive collection of paintings alongside the usual “War” collection and is far from being a “celebration” of victory/war but takes a much more thoughtful approach
