A virtual celebration of tea, via tea-caddies and afternoon tea, looking at how tea-drinking became such a central part of British culture.
Join a 30-minute virtual exploration of several different aspects of tea, covering several centuries of tea-making and tea-drinking, from the 1600s to the present day.
Why was afternoon-tea invented and what were the significance of teacups? What was the role of the tea-gown and the tea-clipper? And how did tea become such an integral part of British culture?
Make yourself a cuppa and enjoy this tour around a teacup, examining the importance of tea.
All you need is access to the internet and once you have booked you will be sent details of how to join the virtual tour via Zoom.
Comments from previous participants on a Gold Star Guides virtual tour:Reiterated many thanks from both of us for a fascinating tour of areas we know but clearly didn't really know well enough.
One of the things we like about your work is the enthusiasm that shines through, and another is the clarity with which the material is presented.
That was absolutely fabulous, thank you so much. You are so clear and informative and enthusiastic without being over the top, and at just the right pace.
Well, that was just wonderful. Your delivery is superb. Very clear and engaging. My attention did not wander for a moment.
I've so enjoyed this. You really know your stuff Felicity. How very fluently explained.
