Fortnum & Mason hosts Summer Tea Party with tastings, demos and puppet shows

Tomorrow, Fortnum & Mason celebrates the British cuppa – and all its sweet accoutrements – with its Start of Summer Tea Party. Attend tastings with tea specialist Margot Cooper, take tea and cake in the store’s St. James’ restaurant, taste tea-based cocktails and watch cookery demos with chef Luke Turner who’ll make Earl Grey mousse and mint tea couscous. Special beauty treatments are also on offer. Punch & Judy will be on hand to entertain children (1-3pm) and there’s 10% off everything in store throughout the day.

Fortnum & Mason, 181 Piccadilly, W1A 1ER (08456 025694); and see St. James restaurant listing.
