About

Dyrham Park's 'tulip mania' is back in force this spring, bigger, brighter and better than ever.

The celebration of the springtime favourite will see a dazzling display of blooms grown formally in the garden's long avenue beds, in pots around courtyards, in the parterre and dotted in a magical explosion of colour through the orchard.

Seven local artists will be showing work they have created especially for tulip mania in the house's Slop't Parlour. With the common subject matter of the tulip, visitors can enjoy and buy their works.

Budding artists can book on a watercolour workshop, plus there will be guided garden walks, talks on Delftware in the house, and a plant fayre.

Tulips are particularly significant to Dyrham due to the property's historic links with the Netherlands and to celebrate this, the National Trust team planted more than 15,000 carefully selected bulbs imported from Holland back in December to achieve a dazzling display of colour in the spring. Tulip mania will run from Mon 13 April to Mon 4 May.
