The Tulip Festival returns to Burnby Hall Gardens from 18 April to 9 May 2026, bringing a vibrant burst of colour to the start of the new season. This much-loved annual event transforms the gardens with thousands of tulips arranged in formal displays across tubs, borders and flower beds, creating a striking and uplifting spring spectacle.
Burnby Hall Gardens, Pocklington
Visitors can enjoy a cascade of colour throughout the grounds, with this year’s tulip arrangements once again planned by Head Gardener Jill Ward. The display represents months of careful preparation by the gardening team, resulting in a beautifully coordinated celebration of spring across the formal beds and surrounding gardens.
Included with standard admission. Entry prices for mid-March onwards will be available via the Burnby Hall Gardens website.
Visitors are kindly asked to be considerate of local residents when parking during the Tulip Festival. If the on-site car park is full, additional parking is available at Pocklington Football Club next to the Gardens, and at the council car park on Robertson Close, across the Balk behind the old railway station.
The Tulip Festival 2026 runs daily at Burnby Hall Gardens, offering a relaxing spring day out surrounded by thousands of beautifully curated blooms. Check the event page nearer the time for any updates to dates or details.
