Rendell McIntosh from Alberton

We are delighted to announce that Alberton's much loved annual summer tea services return for one weekend this March!

Gather a group of friends to celebrate and savour the traditional ritual of high tea. Enjoy dainty sandwiches, scones, savouries and cakes with a showcase of luxury teas from Harney & Sons, served from vintage bone china and antique silverware. Soak up the beauty of majestic Alberton, a mansion built in 1863, from the verandah overlooking the garden or in the grand Victorian ballroom.

Always an occasion, these events sell out so make sure to book promptly. Earlybird offer: for 10% off use the code TEAFANATIC when booking on Eventfinda before the end of the month! Offer expires 1 February.

Friday 27 March to Sunday 29 March 11am & 2pm. Book via Eventfinda
