Bring a friend, your mum, your boyfriend, come alone, bring a group, all are welcome! At my home, an eighteenth century farmhouse in Bowdon near Altrincham, we're accessible by tram/bus or there's parking outside. I've been running secret tea parties since 2010. But every tea is a little bit different, it's all down the guests and we vary the menu. 

This month, we'll be dishing up a welcome mocktail of Earl Grey Fizz, followed by lashings of leaf tea or fresh coffee, delicious finger sandwiches, savoury tarts, freshly baked scones with clotted cream and preserves, Elderflower cordial cake with white chocolate ganache icing, viennese fingers (see pic) and coffee eclairs. And plenty of warm Manchester hospitality!

£16 minimum donation on the day please, with £1 of that going to The Eve Appeal (ovarian cancer research) as part of theit Make Time for Tea campaign. 

Full details of address will be issued to guests the day before the tea. Email gwynbrock(at)sky(dot)com to request a place, you will receive a confirmation email if you get a place.
