Tulips are a picture at Constable Burton

Constable Burton Hall Gardens Tulip Festival will be running over the Early May Bank Holiday weekend - Saturday 29 April to Monday 1 May 2023. 

With over 6000 tulips of over 100 different varieties planted amongst the formal and woodland gardens, this is the most spectacular time to visit Constable Burton Hall Gardens.

As the northern show garden for Bloms Bulbs, winner of 69 Chelsea Gold Medals, we will be showcasing their incredible collection of flowers – a vibrant mix of classic favourites and exciting new varieties! This year our long border features the ‘Beauty of Spring’ tulip – and this really is the most beautiful time of year in our gardens.

Our planting schemes are designed to inspire you; discover the versatility of this glorious spring flower and let your imagination run wild planning your own garden designs! Our lawn marquees will host a stunning display of cut flowers from Bloms own nursery and there will be expert advice on hand through the Bloms team in attendance.

Bloms have devised a special collection unique to Constable Burton Gardens which will be on sale during the festival. This year’s show special offer is 10 Mystic Van Eijk bulbs for every 60 tulips ordered.

The gardens have never looked better and as our estate head gardener Andrew Moss retires this year after 25 years this will be a very special send-off for him as his swan song festival. He is second generation head gardener at Constable Burton having taken on the job from his father.

Our Festival Lawn Marquees pop-up will be serving a delicious assortment of refreshments, all baked lovingly by our estate head chef. Our selection of light lunches, cakes and cream teas are the perfect compliment to a leisurely stroll through the tulips! This year we will also have a licensed bar for those who would like to enjoy a Pimms with their strawberries and cream!

The festival runs over the early May bank holiday weekend, and it’s the perfect opportunity to enjoy the beauty of spring in full bloom!
