Wilton Historical Society Victorian Tea Service

Join the Wilton Historical Society for an afternoon filled with delicious teas, delectable bites, gorgeous flowers and memories created with loved ones!

The classic Afternoon Tea is a tradition born around 1840 when members of the British aristocracy felt the need to fill the long gap between the lunch and dinner menus. Consequently, afternoon tea accompanied by a delicate snack became a staple and symbol of both the Victorian period and the wealth of the British Empire. As the popularity of the service grew, certain utensils, menus, and etiquette developed along with it.

The Wilton Historical Society is excited to present their very own Victorian Tea Service on May 11 from 1 – 3 p.m.. Guests will enjoy a beautifully decorated tent in the courtyard of the Society’s campus. Also find all of the classically magnificent details expected from a 19th century tea service. A Dash of Salt will provide delicious teas and bites alongside a presentation on the History of Tea with an expert from Bigelow Tea.

Wildbloom Skincare and Bigelow Tea generously sponsor this event.

Wild Roses and Blooms generously provide the flowers and arrangements.

Tickets are $60 per person for Wilton Historical Society Members; $75 per person for Non-Members. Registration is required.
