This experience entitles two people to an afternoon treat for two at one of the following castles (please note that the contents of each afternoon treat varies according to location – please contact the supplier for more details when making a booking):

Lumley Castle - County Durham
Standing proud for more than 600 years, the magnificent spectacle of Lumley Castle dominates the County Durham landscape. Surrounded by beautiful parklands overlooking the River Wear and Durham County Cricket Ground, Lumley Castle is a magnificent monument to a bygone age of chivalry and honour. You’ll enjoy a delicious spread of assorted finger sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and preserves, a selection of freshly baked cakes all served with a selection of fine teas and coffee.  This can be enjoyed in either in the Library Bar or Black Knight Restaurant  both rooms are comfortable with features you would expect from a stunning 13th Century Castle.

Chiddingstone Castle - Kent
Set in 35 acres of beautiful grounds including a lake open to fishermen, a rose garden, and magnificent woodland, this glorious castle in Kent is an ideal venue to enjoy a cream tea for two before wandering around the historic site. Throughout the opening season, visitors can discover Samurai Warriors, Egyptian treasures and enjoy nature trails in the grounds. You’ll enjoy your scrumptious cream tea for two, including two homemade scones, Cornish clotted cream and homemade jam each, with a choice of tea or coffee in the delightful vintage Tea Room, before entering the castle for a self-guided tour.
