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.

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.

The stunning tulip garden just 20 minutes from Coventry with Dutch food and live music



Here's a brilliant way to banish those grey January blues.

Tickets have gone on sale for a Warwickshire tulip garden that launched for the first time last year.

The good news is that Tulleys Tulip Garden is back for 2026 with Dutch street food and live music.

Based at Hatton Country World, it's only a 20-minute drive from Coventry.

A spokesman for Tulleys Tulip Garden said: "Our tulip fields, set in the beautiful Warwickshire countryside, are a sight to behold," reports Birmingham Live.

"We will have over 100 different varieties of tulips, early, mid and late bloomers.

"As you meander through the fields, you will be enveloped in a vibrant tapestry of colours, ranging from the deepest purples and blues to the most luminous yellows and reds.

"These fields are not just a treat for the eyes but also offer a peaceful escape into nature, where the beauty of these flowers can be truly appreciated."

Tulleys is aiming to be open from the end of March until the beginning of May but the opening dates will depend on when the flowers are blooming.

Currently, it is possible to book tickets for dates from Friday April 3 to Sunday April 26.

But more dates will be released once the flowers start to bloom. Find out more via the Tulip Garden website.

Alternatively, there are open-dated tickets available which can be used at your convenience.

The experience will feature more than 15 picturesque photo self spots, including a windmill.

There's also Taste of Holland street food, where you can buy 'Poffertjes' Dutch Pancakes alongside other treats at the Tulip Coffee House, where you can relax and unwind amidst the beauty of the tulip fields.

And, to add to the atmosphere, there will be 'wandering melodies' from acoustic musicians.

If you want to buy tulip stems, they can be bought separately.

The address is Tulleys Tulip Garden, Dark Lane, Hatton, Warwick CV35 8XA.

It takes around 20 minutes to drive there from Coventry, traffic permitting, via the A46.

Free parking is included. Alternatively, you can catch a train from Coventry to Warwick.

Tulleys is 5.5 miles from the station.
