Let’s do it all again!
While eagerly await the next season of this iconic series, let us reminisce the spectacular “Bridgerton”, as we invite you, the gentry and nobility, for a delectable high tea in the sunny gardens of Hempstead House Hotel! “Quite the Social Event of the Year!” as Lady Whistledown would proclaim!
On Sunday 14th September 2025 , join us on the lawns of the hotel where we will spoil you with a delicious afternoon tea with Hempstead House as your beautiful backdrop, all while listening to the delightful sounds of a live string quartet performing the popular classical soundtrack of Bridgerton.
Private tables will be available as per individual bookings. Being an outdoor event, please note that the hotel will not provide shelter. Gazebos are not permitted. “RAIN DOES NOT STOP PLAY!” - Please dress appropriately for our unpredictable British weather as the performance will be planned for outside. In the event of rain, this event will be hosted in the Heritage Suite where guests will be sat on large joiner tables.
Timings: Guests will be asked to arrive when the gardens open from 2.30pm. High tea will be served at approximately 3pm. The afternoon will close at approximately 5pm.
Prices: Traditional or Sparkling? The price for the afternoon is £35 per adult to include Traditional Afternoon Tea and live music. Sparkling afternoon tea will include a glass of Chapel Down Sparkling Wine at £45 per adult. Children are welcome at £25 per child.
The menu can be found on our website. Dietary requirements and intolerances can be catered for providing these are highlighted in advance to include gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian or vegan afternoon teas.
String Quartet: It is with great pleasure that we welcome Weddington Strings, a professional string quartet to entertain you with the soundtrack from Bridgerton and more.
