Spalding Flower Parade 2025

Sat 10/05/25 - 1 Day

Enjoy a magical visit to the flower capital of the UK, Spalding. The history of the Spalding Flower Parade dates back to the 1920s and then when the Jubilee year in 1935 of King George V and Queen Mary coincided with the tulip crop, the event became huge. The crowds that came to the area in 1935  Coaches and cars galore turned up to enjoy this event.  The first official Tulip Parade was held in 1959 and within a few years it had become known worldwide. Within only three years of its inception the Parade had become so famous that up to a quarter of a million people were coming to Spalding on Parade Day to line the three-mile route.   ​At it's height, the decorated floats were of huge proportions and could included 250,000 fresh tulip heads. You could ask anyone, anywhere in the UK about Spalding and the Flower Parade would be mentioned. ​It was always a tradition to elect a 'Tulip Queen, Miss Tulipland and in latter years, a Flower Queen'. She, along with assistants or deputies would represent the town for 12 months before handing the role over to the new queen.  Modern days this name has changed to the South Holland Ambassador. ​Jersey links At the height of the Spalding Flower Parade, the Flower Queen would visit the Battle of Flowers in Jersey and ride in the parade, representing Spalding. The Jersey Queen would then visit Spalding and take part in the parade there. It formed wonderful cultural links with Jersey.  ​The last parade until recently The last Spalding Flower Parade was in 2013. This was the 55th parade.  ​ The revival:  It wasn't until 2023 when we decided to bring it back that it regained it's popularity. There is a whole new generation who have never seen a flower parade in Spalding and it rekindled so many fond memories of childhood.  The Spalding Flower Parade is a day out to enjoy for the whole family.Whats includedLuxury VIP Executive Coach - Travel in comfort and style with extra legroom, reclining seats and foot rests Experienced Driver & Tour ManagerEntry to the Flower ParadePlease note, due to the need to arrive in Spalding before the roads are shut for the parade and distance travelled, this will be early pick-up times
