This is a rare opportunity to visit a Norfolk working tulip field in conjunction with the Norfolk Hospice Tapping House from Thursday 18th April 2024 with tulip grower Mark Eves of Belmont Nurseries at Sandringham in Norfolk. Up to half a million bulbs per acre are planted making this a most dramatic tulip display.
Tickets have sold out but follow us on IG or FB for our Tulip Fields ticket giveaway for 2024.
The organisers have confirmed that Tulips for Tapping will be opening its Tulip fields again from Thursday 18th April to Monday 29th April 2024 (closed Tuesday 23rd April and Wednesday 24th April). A rare chance to visit and walk through working tulip fields, taking advantage of special photo opportunities and enjoying a day out unlike any other in the country. In past times the tulip fields were located just off the A148, close to the Sandringham Estate in King’s Lynn. All proceeds have gone towards the Hospice which provides vital services in the local community offering free care, comfort and compassion for people who are living with a life limiting illness, whilst also providing support for their families and friends.
Most days the fields open at 10am and last entry is at 3.30pm. This year there will be three late evenings, where we will be open from 10am and last entry will be 7pm (Friday 19 th April, Thursday 25th April and Friday 26th April). This year there will be a parking charge of £2.00 per car which will cover the cost incurred by The Norfolk Hospice to rent the land for the car park. Please note, there is no public transport or walking access to the event; all attendees must travel to the event by car or taxi.The Tulip field will be closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for essential field and crop maintenance. Please do not try to visit on these days. Adult tickets will be £7.50 each and children’s tickets will be £5 each under 5’s go free. Please note that there will also be a parking charge of £2 per car which will cover the cost incurred by The Norfolk Hospice to rent the land for car parking.
To ensure entry, tickets must be pre-booked in advance, online at www.norfolkhospice.org.uk. Tickets go on sale on Monday 8th April at 10am. There will be local traders selling food and refreshments, toilet facilities, parking and a stall selling merchandise at the event. Dogs and drones are strictly forbidden on the fields. While those using wheelchairs and buggies are wholeheartedly welcomed at the fields, we would ask that users be aware that conditions on the day are wholly dependent upon the weather. The terrain will be uneven and can be muddy or dusty; please bear this in mind before you visit and ensure you wear appropriate footwear. Please note the site is a no-smoking zone.
Nicola Ellis, Chief Executive at The Norfolk Hospice Tapping House said “We are delighted to be opening the tulip fields for another incredible event. Each year we are
overwhelmed by the generosity of the visitors, who come from near and far, to see the splendid sight of the tulips in full bloom. As a charity providing free end of life care to people in West Norfolk we are reliant on the income that events such as this generate. With our annual care services running in excess of £3.25 million a year, we welcome the opportunity to invite people to share in such a wonderful experience whilst contributing to such a great cause.
