The Tulleys Tulip Fest is returning to Tulleys Farm in Crawley, West Sussex, this spring with a display of 1.5 million flowers. The festival is set to run from April 3, 2026, to April 26, 2026, featuring more than 100 different types of tulips across the farm fields.

Visitors can see the blooms from above on a large observation wheel or walk through the fields while listening to live roaming musicians. The event also includes Dutch-inspired street food like Poffertjes pancakes and a Secret Garden bar for refreshments.

This year’s festival will continue the Tulip Nights event, where the flower fields are lit up after the sun goes down. Tickets for the 2026 season went on sale on February 14, 2026, according to the official Tulip Fest website.

The farm has been owned and operated by the Beare family since it was founded by Bernard Beare in 1937. Now in its fourth generation, the family business has grown from a traditional dairy farm into a major local destination for seasonal events.
