A tulip garden that will see around 750,000 flowers, will fully open its doors later in Warwickshire.

Tulleys Tulip Garden, at Hatton Country World near Warwick, is expected to welcome thousands of people this weekend, its biggest event yet.

Visitors will find the 2026 display is significantly bigger than the garden's debut last year, which saw around 500,000 flowers.

The event will also bring a taste of the Netherlands to the Midlands, offering pannekoeken, traditional Dutch pancakes, and live music.

The garden opened in Warwickshire for the first time last year

The site at Dark Lane opened last year, after the success of Tulleys Tulip Fest in Crawley, West Sussex, in 2024.

The company has described this year as "Bigger, brighter and better", with 250,000 more flowers than last year and with an estimated 100 varieties.

While visitors can walk through a sea of colours this Easter weekend, the garden has planted different varieties to ensure the display evolves throughout the spring.

Stuart Beare, Owner of Tulleys said there is something "special" about Easter bank holiday.

"Seeing families and friends come together to enjoy the fields and spend quality time outdoors is what it's all about.

"We're looking forward to welcoming everyone for a brilliant start to the season."
