A British Mother’s Day Scandal at Tea
SATURDAY MAY 9
Tea, Painting & The Case of the Missing Crumpet Recipe
A perfectly proper afternoon… with a rather urgent baking scandal.
Enjoy an elegant afternoon of tea in china cups, painting your own trinket box, and a three-tiered stand filled with sweet and savoury treats—alongside a small but deeply concerning matter: the Royal Crumpet Recipe has gone missing. With Teabridge’s “Least Soggy Bottom” title at risk, you may find yourself noticing a few things along the way—perhaps even helping to solve the scandal.
