At the concert

Please download a diagram showing the arena layout (pdf). No seating is provided so do bring your own picnic rugs or folding chairs. There is a “picnic blanket only” section in the front central section of the arena – please observe this so as not to obstruct the views of others and show consideration to your fellow picnickers at all times!
If you have tickets for one of the reserved enclosures, please check whether you have been allocated the North or South Enclosure. The diagram of the arena layout (pdf) shows the locations of the reserved enclosures.
As this is an open-air concert, please dress accordingly. Please be considerate to your fellow concert-goers if inclement weather requires the use of umbrellas.
Any decision to cancel the concert due to bad weather will be taken at the advertised starting time. No refund will be made if a concert starts, but is later abandoned.
Please note that we provide anti-bacterial gel in our mobile toilet facilities. Running water is available in the fixed toilet facility at Pavilion Gate.
For safety reasons, no naked flames (i.e. barbecues, candles, night lights, flares and lanterns) are allowed. Picnic tables, gazebos and tents are also not permitted.
As requested by the performers, videos and recording devices of any sort are not permitted.
As per our ticket terms & conditions, we would like to remind you that as a ticket holder you are consenting to photography and filming by Kew that may be used for promotional purposes.
We strongly encourage guests to recycle their glass at each concert using the recycling facilities provided. Please look out for our recycling team in the green vests who will be happy to assist you.
Please leave quietly at the end of the concert out of consideration to our neighbours, and place all litter in the bins provided on the way out.
