Tulip Festival

This spring sees the return of our annual Tulip Festival, which will fill the courtyards of Hampton Court Palace and the gardens with over 120,000 tulips!

Tulips have always been synonymous with spring, heralding the start of the warmer days to come. Why not take a stroll around the gardens and immerse yourself in the spectacular displays of flourishing blooms?

This year's spectacular event will feature over 60 rare, historic and specialist varieties inspired by Mary ll's famous 17th century collection at Hampton Court Palace. You will be greeted by a sea of tulips across the palace gardens, including breath-taking floating tulips vases in the fountains.

Find out more about the history of tulips at the palace with our dedicated Tulip Festival Guide booklet, available onsite 15 April - 2 May.
