After a long period of unusually cold early spring weather the tulips are a little behind in coming out - for the best show in the gardens we would recommend waiting until later in the Festival. The Festival will be extended until Thursday 9th May – Bloms Bulbs and the collection of cut tulips will be on site all 16 days.

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 nineteenth year, the Festival gives visitors the chance to lose themselves among the 21,000 blooms gracing this quintessential English Garden. Such is the popularity of the Festival that for the eighth year running the event will run for 13 consecutive days instead of the original 5.

Each area of the garden holds stunning displays; some 100 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.

Pashley’s Tulip Festival is held in association with Bloms Bulbs, winners of 62 Chelsea Gold Medals. Bulb orders for Bloms Bulbs may be taken at this time for delivery and payment in the autumn.
