Tulip mania at Dyrham Park

Immerse yourself in a world of tulips this season as we celebrate the springtime favourite which has strong links with the history of Dyrham Park. As well as a magnificent display along the long Avenue which leads to the house’s entrance, tulips will be out in the borders around Sphynx Court and dotted jewel-like through the pear orchard. The newly-created parterre, which links the house to the garden, will be home to black and white parrot tulips in pots, different black and white varieties in the beds, and historic cultivars in new terracotta pots. A special variety of tulip inspired by Dyrham Park will be out in Fountain Court and by the bus stop area.

In addition to the floral display, the house will be highlighting its historic links to the Netherlands and the tulip through its collection of blue and white Delftware. Artists will be onsite creating some tulip-based works.

Senior garden staff are giving guided tulip tours focussing on the flower’s history as well as planting tips, and there will be a plant fayre in the shop. Dyrham Park tulip pin badges will be available to purchase.

Normal admission charges apply.
