    Group Reservations: Table bundles are available for those who wish to reserve seats together.

    The Tea Service: Your afternoon begins with a leisurely perusal of the Palais de Thés menu, featuring seventeen exceptional blends — from time-honoured classics such as English Breakfast and Earl Grey, to more inspired selections like the Mélange du Cap, a sophisticated union of cocoa nibs and vanilla pods over a delicate rooibos base.

    Tea is presented in individual teapots and accompanied by the traditional three-tiered tray, appointed with:

    • Gourmet artisanal finger sandwiches

    • Fresh-baked breads and scones

    • Dainty petit fours

    Served alongside house-made preserves, lemon curd, and English double Devon cream. Please note your dietary restrictions when you purchase your ticket.

    2027 WORLD CONFERENCE ON ART DECO HOST CITY ANNOUNCED:

    CHICAGO, HERE WE COME!


    We are pleased to report that Chicago has been selected as the host of the 2027 Art Deco International Conference™! Chicago has a rich architectural heritage including stellar examples of Art Deco. It was also home to the Century of Progress World's Fair in 1933-34, one of the defining events of the movement. Ideas for Pre- and Post-Conference include Milwaukee, Wisconsin as well as visits to Racine, Wisconsin and Oak Park, Illinois to see the work of Frank Lloyd Wright. We look forward to working with the Chicago Art Deco Society as plans evolve for the 2027 World Conference.
