Tea originated in ancient China, with myths dating its discovery to Emperor Shen Nung around 2737 BC. The first shipments were bought to Europe in the early 1600s, rapidly becoming a favourite with the aristocracy. Tea consumption skyrocketed in the 18th century leading to the social tradition of Afternoon Tea in the 1840s.
Continue this historical tradition with afternoon tea with a Regency period theme in Grade II* Upton House, Regency fancy dress optional but encouraged! Afternoon tea includes scones, finger sandwiches, sweet treats and a selection of hot drinks and is completed with amazing cake towers. Other beverages, such as prosecco, soft drinks and hot chocolate will be on sale on the day.
We can cater for dietary requirements, including gluten free, vegetarian and vegan. Please include these requests on the booking form. The catering team may contact you to confirm requirements so please include a contact phone number and email.
