As well as a magnificent display along the long Avenue which leads to the house’s entrance, tulips will be out in the borders around Sphynx Court and dotted jewel-like through the pear orchard. The parterre, which links the house to the garden, will feature tulips within its beds, and look out for a 'living library' display of different cultivars in pots in Stable Court, with further displays and a historic timeline in Fountain Court.
In addition to the floral display, the house will be highlighting its historic links to the Netherlands and the tulip through its collection of blue and white Delftware. An exhibition from local artists of work inspired by Dyrham's tulips will be on show in the house's Slop't Parlour.
Volunteers will be giving talks on the significance of tulips at Dyrham in the house, and there will be regular tours around the garden. A plant fayre will be held up at Visitor Reception. Dyrham Park tulip pin badges will be available to purchase.
