This event has finished. See the 2027 edition (dates to be confirmed).
Tulip Time 2026 runs 11 September to 5 October 2026 at Corbett Gardens, Bowral, New South Wales. Tickets: Adults $18.50 online or $20 at the gate, concession $12.50 online, under 12s free, Wingecarribee residents free. Hours: 9.30am to 4.30pm daily (last entry 4pm), extended to 5.30pm 2 to 4 October.
Tulip Time fills Corbett Gardens, in the middle of Bowral, with mass plantings of tulips and spring annuals, a short walk from the main street and the train station. Wingecarribee Shire Council runs it, and shire residents get in free with proof of address. Everyone else pays a modest entry fee, a little cheaper online than at the gate, and children under 12 are free. Go on a weekday morning for a quieter look, then make a day of the Southern Highlands.
