DEBUTANTE-INSPIRED AFTERNOON TEA
Our Debutante-Inspired Afternoon Tea begins with a unique opportunity to learn about the types of events that form the English Social Season and the strict etiquette rules surrounding them.
​
Participants will receive instruction in the art of deportment, mirroring the etiquette and grace exhibited by debutantes when presented at court and when encountering royalty. They will then enjoy a traditional British afternoon tea and a British etiquette lesson.
This elegant event is perfect for groups of ladies seeking a special outing or those wishing to create cherished memories together, such as mothers and daughters.
​
It offers the opportunity to dress up and be transported back to a bygone era for a few hours at one of our preferred partner venues, hosted by our principal, Emma Dupont, a certified British etiquette consultant.
​
We invite you into an elegant private dining room at one of our carefully selected, exclusive partner venues in the picturesque Cotswolds. This refined, traditional English setting will transport you to an era of gentile elegance, reminiscent of a Debutante's first appearance in society, a period of immense grace and grandeur of this historical period.
​
Participants will have the unique opportunity to discover the types of events that form part of the English Social Season, the strict etiquette rules surrounding these important events, and what was expected of them in that era and, of course, now. If you are a fan of the television series Bridgerton, you won't want to miss out on this fantastic experience.
You will then be guided in mastering the art of walking, sitting, and curtsying in the same manner a Debutante would have when presented at court or if you happen to meet royalty during your visit!
Afterwards, you will enjoy a classic afternoon tea, where you will learn about the rich social history and how to gracefully enjoy all aspects of it according to British afternoon tea etiquette.
Participants will leave the experience exuding an air of elegance, ready to meet Mr Darcy while embodying the grace and charm of a bygone era!
