Tulips for Tapping 2026

Tulips for Tapping will take place from Thursday 16th April to Monday 27th April 2026. 

The field will be closed on Tuesday 21st and Wednesday 22nd April.

With over 9.1 million tulips and 20 acres to enjoy, Tulips for Tapping is the only opportunity to visit and walk through working tulip fields in the UK, while supporting the Hospice. All proceeds will directly fund care for people who are living with a life limiting illness, and support for their loved ones.

The fields are in a different location from last year and are located just off the A148, close to Sandringham; the exact location will be revealed to ticket holders at point of purchase. Please note due to its location, there is no public transport to the field.

Dogs and drones are strictly forbidden on the field. Assistance dogs welcome. While those using wheelchairs and buggies are wholeheartedly welcomed at the field, we would ask that users be aware that conditions on the day are dependent upon the weather. The terrain will be uneven and can be muddy or dusty; please bear this in mind before you visit and wear appropriate footwear. The site is a no smoking and no vaping zone.

Please note all tickets are non-transferable and non-refundable, unless the event is cancelled. Whilst every effort has been made to run this event during peak flowering season, we cannot guarantee all of the tulips will be in full bloom for the duration of the event.
