Wakehurst, Kew’s wild botanic garden in Sussex is vibrant tapestry of colour and beauty year-round, making it an excellent choice for a wide variety of film and photoshoots. In the Sussex High Weald, Wakehurst is nestled in rolling hills and far away from noise pollution.

With over 500 acres of varied habitats – from formal walled gardens to ancient British woodlands, wild meadows and wetlands – Wakehurst is a versatile location for a variety of filming needs. As the wild botanic sister of Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Wakehurst’s top horticultural team work ensure the gardens are stunning throughout the year.

Spring and Summer at Wakehurst is feast for the senses, as the landscapes come alive with rhododendrons, magnolias, camelias and carpets of daffodils, tulips and bluebells emerge between trees. The Water Garden and the Iris Dell are particularly colourful and impactful backdrops. For lush, green backdrops, Coates Wood and Horsebridge Wood are woodlands full of towering beeches and dramatic giant redwoods, whilst the Walled Garden offers a traditional, formal garden setting.
