DUCHESS ANNA MARIA AFTERNOON TEA

Served between 1.00pm and 3.00pm (Winter Season)and between 2.00pm and 4.00pm (Main Season)

The English social custom of taking Afternoon Tea was popularised in the 1840s by Duchess Anna Maria, wife of the 7th Duke of Bedford, who entertained her friends at Woburn Abbey. While labourers sometimes had a small sandwich or scone brought from home with their tea, the Duchess and her friends would have enjoyed afternoon tea in the comfortable surroundings of the Abbey.

At the Duchess’ Tea Room, we continue the tradition started by Duchess Anna Maria of serving a traditional afternoon tea. Why not get together with friends or family and enjoy one of our delightful afternoon teas?
