On 21 December, step into a festive wonderland this holiday season and join us for a magical Christmas Afternoon Tea with Santa! Indulge in the spirit of Christmas as you savour a delicious festive afternoon tea - complete with sweet and savoury treats that sparkle with holiday cheer.
Grown-ups can toast the season with a glass of bubbles, while little ones delight in their very own children’s afternoon tea, served with hot chocolate to keep them warm and merry.
The highlight of the afternoon? A special visit from Santa himself! Each child will have the chance to meet the man in red, share their Christmas wishes, and take home a small festive gift to remember the day. With twinkling lights, joyful music, and the aroma of freshly baked treats, this is the perfect way to make magical memories with the whole family this Christmas.
