Description
Witness an extravaganza of blooms at Hillsborough Castle and Gardens this spring
See Northern Ireland’s royal residence burst into colour as Spring Spectacular returns to Hillsborough Castle and Gardens. More bulbs than ever have been planted to create stunning floral displays and installations across beds, pots, barrels—even a boat!
Discover an array of springtime blooms, from fragrant hyacinths and vibrant tulips, and admire our selection of Northern Irish daffodils.
After enjoying the fresh air and strolling around the grounds, warm up with a treat in the café.
(Please note, bloom times vary with the weather).
