Tulips for Tapping - another record breaking year

Visitors to the field near to Sandringham raise more than half a million pounds for local hospice

The 20 acres were once again transformed by more than 9 million bulbs for two weeks in April - with the event attracting in excess of 40 thousand visitors.

It has, once again, been a record breaking year - with just over 580 thousand pounds being raised.

Making the announcement, a spokesperson for Tapping House says, "We'd like to say our final thank you to the amazing volunteers who helped organise, support and run Tulips for Tapping 2026.

"They are the beating heart of our event and we couldn't do it without them."

The charity went on to thank Mark and Susanne Eves of Norfolk Tulips, who say they're delighted with the amount raised.

Field owner Susanne adds, "The main draw with Tapping House is we wanted to support a local charity, that would support people within our community.

"Thank you so much to everyone who visited and supported our event this year. It never ceases to amaze us the fabulous outfits and distances people travel to see the field."

The event has been running for six years, with every penny raised going directly to the charity.

Tapping House provides care for people with life limiting illnesses, and gives support to those most important to them.

"This year, Tulips for Tapping raised £581,381.11 for our Hospice," the charity continues, "Providing around a month's worth of care for patients and families.

"It's been such a joy to see you all on the field and thank you to everyone who supported us, whether through your time and energy, your sponsorship, or your donation."

We'd also like to thank Tapping House and Norfolk Tulips for once again organising such a wonderful event for such a good cause.  

Blooming marvellous!
