Join us for one of our favorite social events of the year—a tea party celebrating King Charles III’s upcoming 78th birthday in November. It’s an ESU Tea Party with plenty of charm, delicious treats, and a setting fit for a king.
Enjoy a delicious spread of tea sandwiches, sweets, Brenda’s signature scones, mock Devonshire cream, fruit butter or jams, and premium tea. Brenda Hedrick, owner of Anna Marie’s Teas, says it best: This is no ordinary tea party—this King’s Tea Party is delightfully extravagant!” It’s a special occasion you won’t want to miss.
This English tea will be held in a stately three-story, 5,000-square-foot home built in 1913. With Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired details, oak trim, fireplaces, open rooms, a wraparound porch, and beautiful antique furnishings, it’s a wonderful backdrop for an English tea served on a special collection of china and silver.
Our teas will also include a champagne toast to King Charles’ 78th birthday, our popular trivia quiz, special door prizes, and a 50/50 raffle.
