From April 15th to May 6th, 2024, you can enjoy the 60 acres of breathtaking royal gardens with your loved ones, in the company of Henry VIII's famous grounds. This year, the palace and gardens will be open seven days a week during the Tulip Festival.

Take a leisurely walk through the courtyards and feast your eyes on the stunning display of tulips spilling out of the Tudor wine fountain. Meander through the gardens to see the floating tulip vases and witness the rare, historic, and specialist varieties, inspired by Mary II's famous 17th-century collection.

Please note that the blooming periods of the tulips are subject to weather conditions. Our expert gardeners predict that the displays will be at their finest in mid-April. Hampton Court Palace will keep you informed of any updates on opening dates via social media and this webpage.
