Overview

With a private guide you will experience the original Royal English Tea with traditional sandwiches, cakes & scones in Queen Anne's Tea Room.

Firstly, you will be escorted around the Park & learn of its long history. We will see the beautiful gardens Albert created for his wife Queen Victoria & take in the spectacular views as we approach the Palace where Prince Harry and William grew up.

We will then experience the full splendour of High Tea on a private table in the Orangery & give you personal insights into our royal family and the fascinating history of our national drink and the ceremony of afternoon tea.
