Events going on in Brentford

What's Love Got to Do With It (12A), Watermans

Fri 3 - Thu 9 March. See website for dates and times.

The screening on Tuesday 7 March at 3.45pm is subtitled with audio description and is 'Safe Seating'. The Parent and Baby screening is on Wednesday 8 March at 11.30am.

A brand new rom-com starring Lily James and Emma Thompson. How do you find lasting love in today's world? For documentary-maker and dating app addict Zoe (Lily James), swiping right has only delivered an endless stream of Mr Wrongs, to her eccentric mother Cath's (Emma Thompson) dismay. For Zoe's childhood friend and neighbour Kaz (Shazad Latif), the answer is to follow his parents' example and opt for an arranged (or "assisted") marriage to a bright and beautiful bride from Pakistan. As Zoe films his hopeful journey from London to Lahore to marry a stranger, chosen by his parents, she begins to wonder if she might have something to learn from a profoundly different approach to finding love.

When Flowers Dream, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew

It is your last chance to see this wonderful exhibition by internationally-renowned artist Tanya Schultz (a.k.a. Pip & Pop).

When Flowers Dream showcases an eclectic mix of vibrant artworks made from everyday materials such as sugar, candy, and assorted craft materials.

Don't miss the bespoke installation for Kew; an imaginary landscape filled with foods of the future, created in collaboration with Kew scientists.

Find out more about how you can visit this exhibition on the website.

Orchids, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew

It is also the last weekend of the much-loved annual orchid festival at Kew Gardens.

Inspired by the beauty and biodiversity of Cameroon, Orchids 2023 is a vibrant celebration of colour and warmth to brighten up the winter months.  

From lush rainforests and volcanic mountains to arid desert plains, Cameroon's huge variety of plants and wildlife are supported by varied habitats, reflected across the ten unique climatic zones within the Princess of Wales Conservatory.

On a day out at Kew, take a journey through our state-of-the-art glasshouse and discover larger-than-life sculptures by our team of expert horticulturists, hand-crafted from an amazing array of real, colourful orchids and plants.

Find out how you can get yourself down to the festival on the website.
