Spilmans Tulip Festival was a wonderful day out and a fantastic way to experience the beauty of spring. The colourful tulip fields stretched as far as the eye could see, creating stunning views and countless photo opportunities. The flowers were well maintained, with a wide variety of colours and patterns that made every section feel unique. The event was well organised, with clear signage, friendly staff, and plenty of space to walk around comfortably. There were food stalls, seating areas, and activities that made it enjoyable for visitors of all ages. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, making it easy to spend several hours exploring the fields. It was especially enjoyable to learn more about the different tulip varieties and appreciate the work that goes into growing them. Overall, Spilmans Tulip Festival offered a memorable experience and is highly recommended for families, couples, and anyone who enjoys flowers, photography, and the outdoors.

Lovely place. We normally go every year around this time and it’s such a delight. Lots of place to park, staff are amazing and can’t say how delicious the strawberries always are and also very affordable. 👌🏾👌🏾 we will definitely come back next year and I recommend always to my friends and family.

Visited on 31/5/26 with my daughters and grandchildren. Very easy to find and ample parking. Short walk to the strawberry fields. Kids loved it and we left with 6 baskets of strawberries. I would probably advise going earlier in the day —we went at noon and struggled to find lots of very ripe strawberries. Wild flowers were gorgeous and only £5 a bunch… I now have 3 vases in the house. Very enjoyable visit and will definitely be back!

First time and Spilman's Farm. Went for the strawberry picking. It was really good. Loads of fresh strawberries. The field of wild flowers was also good if you like that sort of thing. All the staff and owners were pleasant and polite. The cafe was good too. Standard pricing you'd expect at a farm shop. Didn't partake in the fresh pizzas though, maybe on our next visit. Got there for our 10:30am booking and it was fairly quiet, but got pretty busy within 30-45 minutes. Decent sized punnet to fill with strawberries and obviously taste great, fresh from the field.
