Tulip Festival 2026
Dates
Saturday 2nd May, Sunday 3rd May and Monday 4th May 2026
Don’t miss out on the most vibrant and colourful garden event of the year! As the northern show garden for Chelsea award-winning Bloms Bulbs, we are showcasing over 6000 tulips planted throughout our formal and woodland gardens.
Our planting schemes are designed to inspire you; discover the versatility of this glorious spring flower and let your imagination run wild planning your own garden designs! Our lawn marquees will host a stunning display of cut blooms and there will be expert advice on hand from the Bloms team in attendance.
The festival runs over the early May bank holiday weekend, and it’s the perfect opportunity to enjoy the beauty of spring in full bloom. And while you’re enjoying the view, don’t forget to treat yourself to some delicious homemade refreshments served in our lawn marquees. Our selection of light lunches, cakes, and cream teas are the perfect compliment to a leisurely stroll through the gardens.
Bring your family and friends and come and join us for a day of beauty, relaxation, and inspiration.
