Virtual Christmas Tea Party with Jane Pettigrew

Join Jane for a virtual tea party - anyone can attend, no prior UKTA qualifications / course attendance necessary. We highly recommend joining this session for those who have taken any of the four *History & Etiquette of Afternoon Tea* webinar modules.

CHRISTMAS TEA PARTY

To celebrate the end of year traditional festivities, Jane will host an online Afternoon Tea Party with traditional British festive foods. Join her and share one and a half hours of conversation about festive tea-time indulgences and rituals from around the world.

While seated at her festive tea table, Jane will discuss British festive foods, such as mince pies, shortbread, Christmas Cake, Twelfth Cake, Christmas Pudding, and the Wassail Bowl, with stories about how they originated and how they eventually became associated with Christmas celebrations. She will then invite everyone who has joined the online party to talk about their own traditional festive foods for Christmas and other seasonal celebrations.

We shall, of course, all be drinking our favourite tea and there will be lots to talk about and share. So, despite the different time zones, and if you would like to, do set up you own tea table with your favourite teapot and favourite tea and join us for a relaxed, friendly and celebratory afternoon of interesting tea-time conversation.


The Virtual Tea Party is intended to give anyone who has attended Jane's live Webinars on The History and Etiquette of Afternoon Tea, or anyone else who is interested, an understanding of how a tea party happens in a real situation. This will be a fun but also instructional experience.
