The Collector Earl's Garden at Arundel Castle is celebrating its 10th birthday by hosting its largest ever tulip festival.

From mid-April to early May around 60,000 tulips will burst into flower throughout the gardens of the castle, which is this year celebrating the 950th anniversary of its initial construction.

A total of 120 named varieties of tulip will be on display at this year’s event, including ‘Pink Impression’, the deep rose pink petals of which will frame the enchanting water rill ponds. On display for the first time will be the glamorous ‘Carnival de Rio’, which is as flamboyant as the Brazilian festival it is named after.
