Families planning to head to Wakehurst for Glow Wild face disappointment.
Wakehurst said: “Due to the adverse weather conditions on Saturday 7 December, Kew Gardens and Wakehurst will be closed.
“In addition, Christmas at Kew and Glow Wild have unfortunately been cancelled.

The organisers of Brighton Winter Fayre, by St Peter’s Church, said: “Unfortunately, our site will be closed this weekend due to the forecast storm.”
They evacuated the site on the opening night last night (Thursday 5 December) after strong winds took out a marquee pole.
They plan to reopen over the next two weekends from Thursday 12 December to Sunday 15 December and from Thursday 19 December to Sunday 22 December.
And Brighton and Hove Buses said: “Due to a weather warning of high winds, we’re really sorry to announce the Santa Bus will be unable to visit Kemp Town, West Blatchington and Knoll tonight and Hangleton tomorrow evening.
“For any reasons beyond our control, such as adverse weather, which result in the cancellation of the Santa Bus, sadly means we will be unable to repeat the affected routes in 2024.
“You can still see the Santa Bus around the city on other routes this Christmas.”
