A new five-acre attraction is set to open near York next spring – featuring over 750,000 tulips across more than 100 varieties.
Following the success of its popular Tulip Festival at Farmer Copleys, the team are bringing its award-winning tulip experience to York, with a brand-new visitor attraction at Escrick Grange.
The expansion follows Farmer Copleys’ Pontefract event being named Rural & Farm Event of the Year 2025 and will give more visitors the chance to experience vast fields of tulips in bloom on a brand-new site in North Yorkshire.
Planting at York Tulip Fields is due to begin this month, with more than 100 tulip varieties set to be planted across the five-acre site by the farm team led by Jacob Copley.
Early April 2027, when the fields burst into colour, visitors will be able to explore striking displays and immersive garden design, set against the glorious backdrop of the York countryside.
Farmer Copleys is known for its large-scale tulip displays, and will recreate and elevate the three successful seasons in Pontefract to the new York site.
York Tulip Fields will complement the existing Farmer Copleys Tulip Festival in Pontefract.
Heather Copley, co-founder of Farmer Copleys, said: “Over the past three years, we have seen how much people love being surrounded by tulips – why wouldn’t they?
“The response to our Pontefract Tulip Festival has been incredible, and we wanted to build on that success by creating another opportunity for visitors further afield to enjoy the experience.
“York felt like the perfect place to bring that vision to life. Escrick Grange offers a beautiful and distinctive setting, and we are excited to create something truly special there.
“We want York Tulip Fields to feel spectacular from the moment visitors arrive – a place where people can explore, spend time together, capture beautiful photographs and simply enjoy being surrounded by colour.
“We cannot wait to start planting and see the vision take shape. The plans are designed and the bulbs are en route – watch this space and see Holland in York.”
York Tulip Fields is due to open at Escrick Grange in York.
The Tulip Fields is expected to open on Saturday 3 April until Monday 3 May 2027. Ticket sign-ups are available now at Farmer Copleys website.
