TULIP FESTIVAL
Friday 24th April every day until Monday 4th May, inclusive
£8.00 entrance, no concessions

One of the highlights of the early season at Pashley Manor Gardens is the Tulip Festival. Visitors return year after year, mesmerised by the sheer volume of colour and variety of the massed tulips.

The Festival originated to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the tulip’s arrival in Europe from Persia and has gone from strength to strength since its inception.

Now in its fifteenth year, the Festival gives visitors the chance to lose themselves among the 20,000 blooms gracing this quintessential English Garden. Such is the popularity of the Festival that for the fourth year running the event will run for 11 consecutive days instead of the original 5.

Each area of the garden holds stunning displays; some 90 varieties are shown from the vibrant red and hot orange coloured tulips in the herbaceous borders to the cream, white, pale golden yellow and apricot tulips in the Elizabethan Garden and the pink and white tulips along the Terrace.

Complementing the themed tulips of every hue are 2,000 cut blooms on display in vases. There will also be a display and sale of silk flowers and arrangements by Floralistics.

Pashley’s Tulip Festival is held in association with Bloms Bulbs, winners of 57 Chelsea Gold Medals. Bulb orders for Bloms Bulbs may be taken at this time for delivery and payment in the autumn.
