The Tulip Festival at Arundel is regarded as one of the top tulip displays in Europe and is set against the breath-taking backdrop of the Arundel Castle.
A sea of colour awaits you as the festival showcases over 120 different named tulips planted by the castle’s award-winning Head Gardener and his team. This year’s festival is set to feature over 110,000 tulips, creating a stunning display of colour and beauty as the bulbs, which have been dormant underground throughout the winter, burst into bloom.
The 2025 Tulip Festival is NOW ON with different areas of tulips at their best each week. The iconic steep banks of the Castle look stunning with red tulips in flower and more coming out each day. There are pots bursting with colour throughout the gardens.
Within the Collector Earl’s Garden and Walled Gardens there is an array of colourful tulips. In the Wild Flower Garden (by the Thatched Round House) thousands of Narcissus (daffodils) and tulips surround a stunning tiered display providing a sea of colour. In the Cut Flower Garden there’s a wonderful tiered display known as the Wedding Cake. Beautiful tulips surround and reflect in the water of the rill.
