Pashley Manor Gardens
CANCELLED. TO BE RESCEDULED TO APRIL 2021.
Monday 27th April 2020
A day visit to Pashley Manor Gardens in East Sussex for their Tulip Festival.
In late April/early May Pashley Manor’s garden is carpeted with over 35,000 tulips, creating stunning scenes for the visitors to enjoy.
One hundred and twelve varieties of tulip are planted in colour themed garden ‘rooms’. You can wander from elegant displays of white lily flowered and palest cream classic tulips planted around an old brick terrace, to the open space of sweeping herbaceous borders covered in a riot of reds and oranges surrounded by tendrils of bronze fennel, or romantic soft pink peony flowered blooms cloistered between red brick walls and pleached pear trees.
Follow the winding paths down to the woodland, where the Bluebell Walk is often in flower around the same time as the tulips.
More tulips are on display as cut flowers in the Bloms Bulbs marquee. Bloms, winners of sixty eight Chelsea Gold Medals, are on hand throughout the Festival to share their knowledge of these beautiful bulbs and to take orders from those inspired by the spectacle.
Cost: Entry fee:£12.00 + £18.00 coach fare making a total of £30.00 per person. The coach maybe reduced if enough members attend this trip.
