Pashley Manor Tulip Festival

One hundred and eight varieties of tulip are planted in colour themed garden ‘rooms’. Visitors can wander from elegant displays of white lily flowered and palest cream classic tulips planted around an old brick terrace, to the open space of sweeping herbaceous borders covered in a riot of reds and oranges surrounded by tendrils of bronze fennel, or romantic soft pink peony flowered blooms cloistered between red brick walls and pleached pear trees. Follow the winding paths down to the woodland, where the Bluebell Walk is often in flower around the same time as the tulips. Yet more tulips are on display as cut flowers in the Bloms Bulbs marquee. Bloms, winners of sixty seven Chelsea Gold Medals, are on hand throughout the Festival to share their knowledge of these beautiful bulbs and to take orders from those inspired by the spectacle.
