Description:
The British Tea Museum is a Tourist Attraction and celebrates the customs and manners of British Teatime. The Tea Museum offers a Tea Room open to public at the weekends, along with Teatime Masterclasses and Etiquette classes during the week. It is an offshoot of my company, Tea & Deportment, founded in 2016 when I saw a niche is the Tourism market - ie, the tuition and celebration of British Customs and Manners. I offered the Tea Party as a perfect place in which to teach this, and to date have entertained 55.000 Visitors to Britain.. I wanted to buy a commercial property in which to permanently house my Tea Museum which has 12 exhibits on the Social History of Tea and Etiquette, along with a Victorian Carriage and dress up box. I have partnered with Victoria Made, a delux petisserie chef to also bring elegant but low cost to the museum. You therefore enjoy your tea whilst celebrating this quintessential British Tradition of Teatime;(URL removed).
