The field was used as part of Munchkinland in the movie Wicked.
Spring is many people’s favourite season thanks to the longer hours of sunlight and flowers that will bloom adding a bit more colour to life. For those who love flowers, you might not want to miss out on the chance to see the UK’s biggest working tulip field.
Found between King’s Lynn and Fakenham, Norfolk Tulips is only open to the public for a few days every year. For 2026, the tulip field will returning for its sixth year and will be open for 10 days between Thursday, April 16, and Monday, April 27.
The tulip field covers over 20 acres and features 9.1 million flowers to see. You might recognise the field if you have watched the Hollywood blockbuster, Wicked.
The tulip field was used to make up part of Munchkinland with Munchkins seen running through the fields. Director Jon M. Chu decided to use the field as a filming location after he saw a viral video of the tulips online.
Whether you love Wicked and would like to see where some of it was filmed or want to see the flowers, you might want to take a trip to Norfolk Tulips. Visitors are able to walk through the fields and see the tulips in a range of different colours.
On some days, the field is open from 10am until 4pm or you can watch the sun set in the tulip field when it is open until the later time of 8pm. Money from the opening goes towards the Tapping House, a local hospice.
If you are unable to make it to Norfolk to see the tulips in person, you can order a bouquet from the Norfolk Tulips website. You can buy a bouquet of one colour of tulips or even buy bulbs to plant in your garden to create your own mini tulip field.
Tickets to see the famous tulip field cost £10 for adults and £5 for children between the ages of five and 16 with car parking costing £2.50 per car. The tickets can be bought from the Norfolk Tulips website from 10am on Tuesday, April 7.
Norfolk Tulips can be found outside of King’s Lynn on Mill Road. It is around an hour and a half drive from Cambridge via the A10.
