Overview

If you want to enjoy tulip season, Arundel is the place to be in the UK. Arundel Castle gardeners have planted thousands of tulip bulbs for a colour-filled tulip festival like no other. Against the stunning backdrop of Arundel Castle gardens, a sea of colour sweeps across the flower beds. During the annual Arundel Castle Tulip Festival, 120 different types of tulip burst into bloom from bulbs, which have slept soundly underground throughout the winter months. The coloured flowers catch our attention, and their colourful names capture our imagination.  In Arundel Castle gardens, you can walk around the Tulip Festival. Tulips burst forth from herbaceous borders, spill over containers and create an unusual, striking display in the Castle’s grass labyrinth.  You will also enjoy a free flow visit through the castle and keep as well as exploring the rest of the wonderful gardens at Arundel Castle. Refreshments: The Coffee Shop in the Castle sells a range of sandwiches freshly made here in the Castle, indulgent cakes and shortbread biscuits. In the Restaurant, help yourself at the counter to Castle made scones and a range of hot food including quiche, soup, jacket potatoes, pasties and sausage rolls together with a side salad and Vegan/Gluten free options. In the Gardens, there is a Tea Terrace serving hot & cold drinks and a selection of the sandwiches, cakes and biscuits from the Castle Coffee Shop.
