Tulleys Tulip Festivals
The highly acclaimed Tulleys Tulip Festivals are making a vibrant comeback this spring, offering visitors across the UK a spectacular celebration of the season. Known as one of the country’s top seasonal attractions, these events feature millions of tulips spread across three distinct locations, creating immersive displays of color and natural beauty.



Three Stunning Locations
The festivals take place at:
- Tulleys Tulip Fest at Tulleys Farm in West Sussex, showcasing around 1.5 million tulips across over 100 varieties.

Each site delivers its own unique atmosphere while maintaining the signature Tulleys experience of vast, colorful fields and thoughtful design.
A Season of Evolving Blooms
The planting strategy focuses on early, mid, and late-flowering varieties, allowing waves of color to unfold naturally throughout the spring. This approach ensures the landscapes change over time, with no two visits looking the same. The festivals are scheduled to run from late March through May, depending on natural blooming conditions, so guests can witness the tulips at their peak beauty.

Seasonal food and drink options, Dutch-inspired street food, live entertainment, and relaxing areas provide opportunities to enjoy the outdoors and mark the arrival of spring. The events cater to couples, groups of friends, and families alike, offering an uplifting and inclusive day out.
