Prepare for a taste of Holland in Hertfordshire this spring as a popular floral attraction has announced its return.

Tulleys Tulip Fields will be opening in late March, on fields adjacent to Willows Activity Farm, near London Colney.

Following huge success last year, the team behind the UK's number one tulip festival will once again welcome guests to immerse themselves.

In 2026, the attraction is expected to open in late March and run through to May, with blooming guided by nature to ensure visitors experience the field at its most beautiful across the season.

Stuart Beare, owner of Tulleys Farm who operate Tulleys Tulip Fest, said: "Our tulip festivals have become a real highlight of the spring calendar.

"Seeing people reconnect with nature, enjoy the outdoors and make special memories is what it's all about. Each site has its own character, but they all share that same sense of joy, colour and escape that people now associate with Tulleys."

From the earliest varieties to the late bloomers, the fields will shift in colour, shape, and beauty throughout the event. 

As well as the colourful tulips in bloom, there's plenty of photo opportunities around the site to capture that perfect picture for Instagram.

In 2025, food lovers could try poffertjes, Dutch mini pancakes, while the Tulip Coffee House also served hot and cold drinks.

Musicians roamed the site too, entertaining visitors with live acoustic tunes - a feature promised to return.

Our reporter Sophia-Fai Roche visited the Willows Farm tulip attraction last year:

Sophia said: "I was blown away by the beautiful tulips, the amazing atmosphere and the relaxed energy the venue creates.

"As I meandered around, taking in the bright colours of the tulips, calming music played in the background, which made me feel as if I was transported into another world."

Phase two tickets go on sale on January 23 following the rapid sell-out of phase one.
