I’m interested in coming to hear Buzz – The Story of Glory Bee (a bee-bopping, wing-twirling musical for ch’ildren). How do I find out where to go when I get to Kew?
Hope to hear from you as soon as possible so I can tell the friends I’m meeting up with.
Thanks

The Buzz musical is going to be a highlight of the whole 5 days!
When you arrive at Kew, there will be people in Start T-shirts letting people know where to go, and you’ll also be given a flyer as you go through the gate. However, the festival couldn’t be easier to find- we’ll be right in between the Orangery and the White Peaks Cafe… you cant miss it!

This chair is a hit!! My son loves to sit in it and wait for his dvd to play and it is very good lonoikg as well. The dark color matches our sofa, it blends with the room very well.
