Fans of the much-loved TV series Downton Abbey will be excited about the upcoming movie release this fall.

Local fans will also be happy to know that The Gardens on Anderton will be reprising their successful Downton Abbey Tea. This event will celebrate the movie release and give fans a sense of what it was like in the era of the series.

Guests will be welcomed by staff dressed in formal servants鈥� attire before being seated at a formal place setting where they will be served tea in fine china together with traditional finger sandwiches and followed by sweets, all provided by Custom Gourmet.

Guests will enjoy their service all while listening to live music in a garden setting. This will be an opportunity to step back in time to the Britain of the 1920s.

There will be plenty of photo opportunities in the beautiful gardens decorated with a British flair. Participants will be encouraged to dress in formal 1920s attire and prizes will be awarded for the best men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 costume.
