Step back in time and enjoy a 1940s-inspired Afternoon Tea in the historic surroundings of Waddesdon Manor, before taking time to explore the beautiful formal gardens and the poignant Standing with Giants installation. Inspired by the spirit of wartime Britain, your Afternoon Tea features a carefully crafted selection of savoury favourites, freshly baked scones with jam and clotted cream, and traditional sweet treats, served with your choice of fine Canton teas or freshly prepared coffee.
Your visit also includes access to Waddesdon’s stunning grounds and formal gardens. Originally envisioned by Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild in the late 19th century, the gardens have transformed a once-bare hill into one of the finest examples of Victorian horticulture. After tea, enjoy a leisurely stroll through the Parterre, Rose Garden, Aviary, and woodland walks at your own pace.
