Winkworth will be the exclusive sponsor of the reserved enclosure (VIP area) offering close proximity to the stage and exclusive access to a separate bar. This year marks a significant milestone for both organisations, as Kew the Music celebrates its 40th anniversary and Winkworth commemorates 190 years of serving communities across the UK. The renewed partnership builds on past collaborations, reinforcing shared values of tradition, community, and cultural enrichment.
“We’re delighted to be sponsoring Kew the Music for its 40th anniversary,” said Dominic Agace, CEO of Winkworth. “We’ve collaborated with Kew the Music in the past, and we’re excited to reunite in 2025 for what promises to be a special year for both of us.”
Kew the Music is a week-long summer picnic concert series set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Royal Botanic Gardens. The festival is renowned for its family-friendly atmosphere, sustainability-conscious ethos, and genre-spanning music lineup, attracting music lovers of all ages.
The 2025 lineup features an eclectic mix of internationally acclaimed artists:
• Craig David – 8 July
• The Human League – 9 July
• UB40 – 10 July
• DJ Spoony – 11 July
• Alison Moyet – 12 July
• Gipsy Kings – 13 July
Originally launched in 1984 as Summer Swing at Kew Gardens, the festival has grown into one of the UK’s most beloved outdoor music events, offering an exceptional blend of music, nature, and culture.
As Winkworth marks nearly two centuries of connecting people with their homes, the sponsorship of Kew the Music aligns perfectly with the company’s ongoing commitment to celebrating heritage, supporting the arts, and engaging with local communities.
