More than 100 varieties of tulips have been planted across sweeping fields, creating a vibrant landscape of colour that evolves throughout the season as different varieties bloom in waves.
Alongside the flagship event in West Sussex, two sister festivals in Hertfordshire and Warwickshire will also welcome visitors this spring, meaning millions of tulips will bloom across three locations in England.
Together, the festivals form the UK’s largest tulip celebrations, drawing visitors eager to experience the spectacular colours of spring.
A Spring Spectacle
Visitors can wander through vast rows of tulips ranging from bold reds and golden yellows to soft pinks, deep purples and striking bi-colour blooms, with each stage of the season revealing a new palette across the fields.
Scenic pathways weave through the displays, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the sea of colour while discovering carefully designed viewpoints and striking floral installations along the way.
Alongside the flowers, visitors can enjoy seasonal food and drink, live music and a relaxed festival atmosphere celebrating the arrival of spring.
A Festival That Changes Week by Week
Unlike traditional flower displays that bloom for only a short window, the tulips are planted in carefully timed varieties so the landscape evolves throughout the season.
Early, mid and late flowering varieties bloom in succession, meaning the colours across the fields change week by week and no two visits are ever exactly the same.
A Celebration of Spring
Stuart Beare, owner of Tulleys Farm, told That's Gardening: "After the long winter months, seeing the first tulips begin to open is always a special moment. The fields slowly come to life as the colours appear, and visitors can walk through an incredible sea of blooms.
By planting a wide range of varieties we’re able to create a festival that evolves throughout the season, allowing people to experience spring in full colour."
