Dearest Gentle Reader,

It is with the utmost delight that this author reports a most charming daytime affair is soon to grace the social calendar. All members of society, young and old alike, are warmly invited to partake in an afternoon of refinement, indulgence, and genteel amusement.

The Bridgerton Afternoon Tea at Hammond Castle Museum shall take place on Saturday, February 28, offering guests of every generation a rare opportunity to enjoy elegance by daylight. One may expect an afternoon rich with conversation, courtesy, and more than a few raised teacups.

Guests will be graciously received and escorted to a beautifully appointed tea setting, where Her Majesty the Queen, attended by her ever-watchful ladies-in-waiting, will observe the room with keen interest. Every delicate sip, polite smile, and charming exchange may be noted, for even at tea, appearances matter.

The afternoon will begin with a celebratory toast, featuring champagne for adult guests and sparkling cider for the young ladies and gentlemen in attendance, setting a festive tone worthy of the season.

A live pianist will provide a refined musical accompaniment as guests enjoy a curated afternoon tea service featuring an array of fine teas, delicate sandwiches, and exquisite confections, thoughtfully prepared by Sugar Magnolia’s. Throughout the afternoon, the entire Museum will be open for self-guided exploration and photographs, allowing guests to wander the castle’s passageways and capture memories worthy of the society pages.

Guests of all ages are encouraged to don their finest daytime attire, practice impeccable manners, and enjoy the occasion, for even in the soft glow of afternoon, nothing escapes the Queen’s notice.
