EASTER AFTERNOON TEA

HSCC is excited to announce a new community event for 2026 -- Easter Afternoon Tea on Saturday 4th April, 2pm to 4pm.

We're extremely lucky to have ex-Haversham resident Claire Clark MBE MOGB providing her cakes and savouries. Claire is an internationally renowned pastry chef who has had an illustrious career as head pastry chef at Claridges and The Ritz!

After striking up a friendship with Alex Watkins when they met on the Haversham allotments, Claire and Alex have created a small business -- the appropriately named Garden Gate Flowers -- who will be running the event. Alex will be using her expertise to provide beautiful plants and gifts, as well as the opportunity for the children attending to plant a sunflower to take away.

We're sure you'll agree that this is a unique opportunity to come together for a treat, to socialise and taste some truly exceptional bakes -- all on our doorstep!

Tickets

Adults: £24.99 or £29.50 with Prosecco

Children's: £8
