Dates have now been announced for Hampton Court Palace’s 2023 Tulip Festival, when thousands of tulips will bloom throughout the attraction’s grounds and courtyards.

A special trail will guide visitors around the displays, revealing the history of the blooms, which are believed to date back to Mary II (1662-1694). The attraction’s expert gardening team will also be on hand to provide tips and information to any keen gardeners in your group.
