For one week each summer, Teabridge celebrates the tradition that helped shape the town’s identity.

Tea Week has been a fixture of the local calendar for generations, bringing together residents, visitors, businesses and community groups in a celebration of the town’s rich tea heritage. While the event has evolved over the years, its purpose remains the same: to honour the traditions, stories and community spirit that have made Teabridge what it is today.

The town’s association with tea dates back to the early nineteenth century, when local merchants and tea rooms helped establish Teabridge as a popular stop for travellers passing through Oxfordshire. As the town grew, so too did its reputation for hospitality, afternoon tea and community gatherings, eventually giving rise to the annual Tea Week celebration.

Today, Tea Week features a programme of events across the town, from markets and competitions to talks, exhibitions and community celebrations. It also marks the annual public display of The Porcelain Pinkie, one of Teabridge’s most treasured artefacts and a longstanding symbol of the town’s heritage.

Whether you’re visiting for the first time or returning for a favourite tradition, Tea Week is the perfect opportunity to experience Teabridge at its very best.
