On display for the first time is the glamorous ‘Carnival de Rio’, which is as flamboyant as the Brazilian festival it is named after.
The tulips will be at their peak for the next week, after which the Castle will host its annual Allium Extravaganza with over 15,000 of the purple pom-pom headed flowers expected to bloom.
