Organisers expect there to be about 750,000 tulips this year

A popular tulip garden which attracted large crowds on its debut is to return to Warwickshire this spring.

Tulleys Tulip Garden, which was hosted in Hatton, near Warwick, for the first time in 2025, will be back in April, with organisers promising it will be "bigger and brighter than ever", with about 750,000 tulips.

They said the estimated opening dates are 1 April to 3 May, "depending on flower bloom time". Last year there were an estimated 500,000 flowers.

The site at Dark Lane opened after the success of Tulleys Tulip Fest in Crawley, West Sussex, in 2024, and it will feature more than 100 varieties of the flower, to bloom at various times at the site.

There are many places for photo opportunities on site, managers say

Managers said the venue would include a range of photo opportunities and showcase to visitors "a vibrant tapestry of colours" ranging from the deepest purples and blues to luminous yellows and reds.

They said the site offered an escape into nature and would also feature entertainment from acoustic musicians and street food.

Tickets for the event will go on general sale in February.
