Whether you’re catching up with friends, enjoying time with family, or celebrating with colleagues, our incredibly popular Festive Afternoon Tea at Downham Hall is the perfect way to embrace the spirit of the season, with multiple dates available throughout November and December.

Our Festive Afternoon Teas combine the elegance of our traditional service with beautifully crafted seasonal treats from our talented pastry chef and includes a glass of Prosecco or soft drink alongside a choice of teas and locally roasted coffee.

For a truly celebratory experience, join us on Saturdays when a live singer fills our festively decorated luxury barn with seasonal music.
Prefer something a little quieter? Our Friday sittings offer the same wonderful menu and all the festive atmosphere, without the live entertainment. See below for the full list of dates available:
