This area is home to one of the largest displays of tulips including the beautiful Carnival de Rio, Flaming Flag, blood red Bastogne, crimson streaked Washington and yellow and red Helmar varieties.
However, it has taken the castle’s ground staff months to prepare for the event, with gardeners planting a record-breaking 52,000 bulbs, most of which should bloom by the end of May.
The festival will be running throughout May. For more details see here.
