Looking for a themed afternoon tea in the West Midlands region? This is an extremely comprehensive list of all the permanent themed afternoon teas available. When I started writing this post, I’d heard of a couple of them and I know they are absolutely wonderful. So, I thought it was going to be easy to find more. In fact, this was supposed to be a list of ten. Surprisingly though, despite hours of research I was only able to find nine. Some places will do an afternoon tea for Christmas, Easter or Halloween, and there are plenty of delightful places to have a standard afternoon tea in Worcestershire and Cheltenham. But if you’re looking for themed afternoon teas, the below places have it covered. Please note – prices are given at the time of writing but are subject to change.

Themed Afternoon Tea in Herefordshire

Ralph Court Gardens – Alice in Wonderland Themed Afternoon Tea

Ralph Court Gardens in Herefordshire offers the ultimate Alice in Wonderland themed afternoon tea. Arrive at the beautiful restaurant to be shown to your specially decorated Alice in Wonderland themed table. Details include drink-me potions, character tea pots, and a helium balloon held by a flamingo! Enjoy handmade chocolates, quiches, finger sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and jam, and a popping candy toadstool served on a chocolate brownie. Tea, coffee and drink me potions come as standard, or upgrade to a glass of prosecco. Afternoon tea must be booked at least 24 hours in advance.

The afternoon tea is a standalone item, so you don’t need to purchase entry to the gardens to enjoy an afternoon tea. That said, garden entry isn’t included with your afternoon tea, as you’ll only be in the restaurant. If you’re looking to make it a full day out, it’s well worth exploring the gardens as well. There’s an Alice in Wonderland themed garden as well as multiple other incredible areas to stroll around. Look out for the animatronic dinosaurs!

Price: £25.00 for adults (add £8 for prosecco) and £12.50 for children.

The Fourteas – 1940s Themed Afternoon Tea

The Fourteas in Stratford-upon-Avon is a wonderfully nostalgic 1940s-themed tearoom, just a stone’s throw from the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. Stepping inside feels like travelling back to wartime Britain, complete with vintage décor, period details, and that unmistakable Home Front atmosphere. The menu is built around good quality, home-cooked food with locally sourced ingredients, and they serve a proper 1940s afternoon tea with sandwiches, scones, and cakes.
