All Afternoon Teas are served between 3pm and 4pm and must be pre-booked at least 48 hours in advance by calling 01572 813200.
And because no visit to Barnsdale Gardens is complete without a stroll, you can combine your tea with a wander around 38 individually designed garden rooms, there’s something to inspire in every season.
So mark your diaries, polish your teaspoons, and join us for Afternoon Tea Week, where the only thing sweeter than our cakes is the offer itself!
