Kew Gardens Trip
Get out of Egham for an afternoon and explore Kew Gardens! We're taking our weekly wellbeing walk and talks to the botanical gardens so join us there or go with friends!
Book your entry ticket with us and then either make your own way there or meet us at Egham train station! A return journey to Kew Bridge is £10.90 without a railcard or the gardens have a limited amount of parking or is accessible via various bus routes.
There will be a group getting the train from Egham station at 12:27 which will get us to Kew Gardens at around 13:10 (half an hour train plus a ten minute walk)
We'll be walking around the greenhouse together after which you're free to spend your own afternoon there!
