Afternoon Tea
Enjoy an elegant Afternoon Tea at the Castle. This tradition was first made popular by Anna Russell, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, in 1840. It is said The Duchess would become peckish in between her lunch and late evening meal therefore she began inviting friends to join her in her rooms at Woburn Abbey for tea and light refreshments; and so the tradition of Afternoon Tea began.
This uniquely British experience can be enjoyed in our charming Bistro or the stylish Queen Mother Room.
From £24.50 per person, served from 12:30pm daily.
Please book 24hrs in advance.
