Theatre Royal Drury Lane’s Showstopping Afternoon Tea is served in the stunning surroundings of the iconic Grand Saloon - one of the finest Regency rooms in London.
The immersive experience begins as guests are greeted by the theatre’s renowned Red Coats, known for their extraordinary VIP service over the last 30 years, who will regale guests with tales of the theatre’s magnificent restoration and its rich history.
Staying true to theatrical traditions, this show-stopping Afternoon Tea is staged in two acts, and, as with any great production, there’s an encore - with plentiful tea, champagne, and much more.
