You will be able to tiptoe through the tulips in Hertfordshire this April at a new attraction coming to St Albans.

Tulleys Tulip Fields will be opening on Saturday, April 5 on fields adjacent to Willows Activity Farm, near London Colney.

The team behind the UK’s leading tulip festivals is bringing its colourful tulips to the Hertfordshire countryside.

Stuart Beare, owner of Tulleys Farm who operate Tulleys Tulip Fest, said: “We are thrilled to be bringing our famous tulip experience to St Albans this spring. 

“Our annual Tulip Fest was hugely popular when we launched it last year. And to bring this exceptional event to the Hertfordshire countryside for the first time is tremendously exciting.”

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

Stuart added: “The tulip fields are extremely dynamic as the rows of mixed varieties ensure that the fields look fabulous from start to finish, meaning that every visit offers something new to see.”
