The afternoon tea is run for grown ups (18+). Some people come with friends. Some come on their own. Everyone is welcome. We all sit at big tables, so no-one is left out. Our volunteers work together to deliver tea and delicious home-baked cakes: without fail there are beautiful flowers on the table, a carefully considered menu, a raffle (ticket included in the price), good company and conversation, and caring service. It is a very friendly social opportunity: a chance for grown ups of all ages to meet up over a cuppa.
Places are booked in advance so that the team know how many to cater for.
There are lots of ways to get involved. The team share a wide range of jobs -
communicating with customers and taking bookings, publicising & planning the tea, shopping, and preparing in the days before
then setting up for the afternoon, serving food & drinks, clearing tables, washing up, running the raffle, and of course eating and chatting on the day.
