A stunning tulip display will be returning to an iconic historic landmark near London this spring.
Hampton Court Palace’s Tulip Festival will be returning for another year, celebrating this iconic flower that has become so synonymous with spring.
Starting from April 11 and running up until May 5, the grounds of Hampton Court Palace will feature colourful displays with over 100,000 tulips planted.
Every part of the grounds will feature these colourful bulbs, from the formal gardens which even featured in an episode of Netflix’s Queen Charlotte to the cobbled courtyards, offering photographers and Instagrammers alike plenty of prime photo opportunities.
This Tulip Festival has been a part of Hampton Court’s spring calendar since 2021 and last year the Head Gardener at Hampton Court Palace – Graham Dillamore – was awarded the World Tulip Award for Britain’s largest and greatest Tulip Heritage Garden.
The display will also feature floating tulip bowls at the Great Fountain and a vintage horse cart cascading with tulips.
If you visit the Lower Orangery you’ll be able to take a peek at rare, historic and specialist varieties of the flower, with some dating back as old as 500 years.
Graham Dillamore, Head Gardener of Hampton Court Palace, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome visitors back to Hampton Court Palace this spring for another spectacular Tulip Festival.
“Over 100,000 of our award-winning tulips will erupt in colourful displays across the grounds and gardens, carefully selected and planted to showcase the Palace’s rich horticultural heritage.”
Tickets to visit Hampton Court start at £28 for an adult and £14 for a child.
