Afternoon Tea
Available from the 12th of March 2023
Did you know Afternoon Tea was invented at Belvoir Castle? By Anna Russell, Duchess of Bedford whilst visiting the 5th Duke of Rutland at Belvoir Castle in the mid-1840s when she decided the wait until Supper was simply too long! What better place to enjoy than in the official birth place of the Afternoon Tea tradition?
Afternoon Tea at Belvoir Castle promises to be an enchanting experience in our newly refurbished Regency-styled Tea Room, ‘The Aviary’. Indulge in dainty finger sandwiches and delectable desserts. The perfect gift for a loved one, or to mark a special occasion.
Our Afternoon Tea includes a delicious array of fresh sandwiches, homemade scones with jam and clotted cream, a selection of homemade mini cakes and a pot of Tea or coffee.
By booking afternoon tea you will be allowed entrance to the grounds, however if you wish to visit the Castle you would need to purchase a Castle entry ticket separately.
