Spalding, in South Holland, Lincolnshire, had a population of around 30,600 at the 2021 census — a fenland market town whose fields turn into colour every spring.
Tulip fields and a flower parade
Spalding sits at the centre of the Lincolnshire fens, whose rich, flat, silty soil turned out to be ideal for growing flower bulbs — daffodils and, above all, tulips — from the early 20th century onward, with fields around the town turning into bands of colour each spring. That heritage was celebrated for decades by the Spalding Flower Parade, which ran annually from 1959 to 2013 with floats decorated in real tulip heads, drawing huge crowds to see the fields and the procession together.
What that history doesn't leave behind
The bulb fields still colour the countryside around Spalding each spring, but the town itself doesn't have a dedicated sweet shop stocking bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines.
Why Spalding shoppers order online instead
With the local shops geared more towards the fenland's agricultural trade than confectionery, ordering sweets online is the more consistent way to stock up for Spalding addresses.
