It starts with a letter…
Step into the world of art, history, and scandal with Beyond the Palette’s interactive afternoon tea talk—where every cup of tea comes with a splash of gossip, and every bite of cake has a tale to tell.
As you indulge in a sumptuous spread of sandwiches, scones, and sweet treats, you will be taken on a deliciously revealing journey through the origins of afternoon tea, uncovering the aristocratic drama, royal indulgences, and unexpected twists that shaped this most British of traditions. From sexy strawberries to an artist with a surprising cucumber obsession, plus the age-old jam vs. cream debate, this is (art) history at its absolute tastiest.
