Our friends at Christ Church Fulwood are hosting an English afternoon tea with cakes, games and English conversation.
Afternoon tea is an old and long-held tradition in England, dating back as far as the 1840s as a mini-meal to bridge the gap between lunch and dinner.
In Britain today, it is enjoyed as a treat or to celebrate special events. It usually includes finger sandwiches, scones, cakes and a pot of loose leaf tea, brewed to compliment the food.
Christ Church Fulwood will be hosting their afternoon tea on Sunday 25 September at 4–6pm, meet at the main University entrance. There’ll also be a short presentation about the Christian faith.
