Sorry everyone see you all next hopefully next month

🌷 A little honest update from our family to yours.

The unusually warm and wet weather this season has been tough on our tulips, and sadly, the fields haven’t flowered as we’d hoped. There will be significantly fewer tulips across the fields, with flowers that are smaller, later and shorter than usual.

We know the spectacular sea of colour is a big part of why so many of you visit, so we wanted to let you know what to expect before you come.

The festival is still going ahead, and there’s plenty to enjoy — beautiful gardens and spring colour, live entertainment, delicious food, family activities and a lovely day out at Tesselaar. 🌷🎶🍔

To reflect the reduced tulip display, all tickets are now 30% off.

This season will look different, but we’d still love to welcome you, share our farm with you and celebrate spring together.

Thank you for your understanding and for continuing to support our family. It truly means so much. ❤️
