Buxton Crescent launch Bridgerton inspired Regency afternoon tea

As the next instalment of the highly anticipated society period drama Bridgerton is now here Buxton Crescent has teamed up with Asmodee to launch a lavish regency afternoon tea with aristocratic themed games in honour of the splendid and scandalous series.

Deidre Billing, general manager for the 5* hotel, said: “Buxton Crescent is the perfect setting to transport you back to the Georgian era.”

“The Buxton Crescent Regency Afternoon Tea will offer a selection of delicious savoury and sweet treats freshly made by Buxton Crescent’s expert pastry chef, along with Prosecco or a selection of Laurent Perrier Champagnes.

“Afternoon Tea is served in the Grade I hotel’s elegant lounge, overlooking Buxton’s sloping hills and sweeping crescent exterior.”

In addition, Buxton Crescent is offering a free Bridgerton: Love Letter card game (worth £14.99) to play and take home for the first 30 groups who book the Regency Afternoon Tea, one game per group booking.

The game, supplied by Asmodee, features beloved characters from the Bridgerton series and leads players to investigate Lady Whistledown’s identity.

Deidre said: “Afternoon Tea diners can also dust off their feathers for the new season and take on the persona of their favourite characters from the hit series whilst playing the Bridgerton: The High Society Game board game onsite, also courtesy of Asmodee.”

Buxton’s Afternoon Tea - from just £30 pp – includes sandwiches like Honey Glazed Roast Ham with Sun Blush Tomato Mayonnaise and the Snowdonia Black Bomber Cheese with pickle relish, along with the classic Cucumber and Cream Cheese and Oak Smoked Salmon with Crème Fraiche. Sweet delights include Warm Plain or Fruit Scones with Strawberry Jam and Cornish Clotted Cream, plus an assortment of decadent cakes and a wide range of artisan teas.

The hotel - one of the only remaining Georgian Crescent hotels in the UK, dates back to 1789 the regency era just like Bridgerton and was built so the nobility could ‘take the waters.

Now centuries later, many of the spa treatments are still centred around Buxton’s water.

Afternoon Tea is served from 1pm – 5pm, from £30pp to book visit https://ensanahotels.com/en/hotels/buxton-crescent/cuisine
