About This Experience

Edinburgh does afternoon tea beautifully and books it out accordingly, especially for groups. Ours comes to your accommodation instead: stands, sandwiches, scones and cakes delivered and set out at your New Town or Old Town house, so the group sits down together at a time of their choosing rather than whatever the hotel had left.

Enjoy a quintessentially British afternoon tea experience delivered to your property.

Perfect for Group Celebrations and Corporate Retreats

Afternoon tea is a quintessentially British celebration experience that works brilliantly for hen parties, birthday trips, baby showers, and family reunion weekends. It's elegant without being intimidating, inclusive across ages, and creates a natural social setting where groups can talk, eat, and enjoy each other's company over a beautifully presented spread. It's also one of the most photogenic experiences available.

Why Add This Experience to Your Group Stay?

A private afternoon tea at your group accommodation adds a touch of refinement to any weekend stay and works as both entertainment and meal.

All our experiences are designed to come to you — whether you're staying in a party house, a house with a hot tub, or a country home. Your provider handles all setup, delivery, and clear-down — you just enjoy it.
