August Lates
Each Tuesday throughout August, we are keeping our gates open after hours from 5–9pm, with half-price entry and a series of themed evenings designed to help you explore, create and unwind. Whether you’re meeting friends after work, looking for a unique date night or simply want to enjoy a peaceful evening surrounded by nature, August Lates offers the perfect summer escape in the heart of London.
Each week brings a new theme, Folklore, Nature, Wellbeing and Art, each with drop-in activities included in your half-price entry. So whether you want to learn more about the history of nature’s folklore, explore the depths of our pond, find calm surrounded by greenery or create botanical inspired works of art, there’s something for you.
