Tulip Festival

Discover one of the UK's biggest tulip displays

The popular Hampton Court Palace Tulip Festival is back with over 100,000 tulip bulbs erupting in colour at one of the UK’s biggest displays of planted tulips.

Recognised as Britain’s Largest and Greatest Tulip Heritage Garden at the prestigious World Tulip Summit in 2024, this year's Tulip Festival promises a floral spectacle like no other.
