Jubilee Tea Party

“God save our gracious queen, long live our dum de dum……” oh dear - sorry about that – getting a bit patriotically carried away there what with all this jubilee excitement.

Unsurprisingly we are rather keen on the odd historic moment here at the Boston Tea Party & a tea fit for a queen is just our sort of thing.

At BTP we do like to do things properly & frankly any excuse to get dressed up, make our cafes look pretty & have a party is just fine with us. So from Saturday, 2nd until Tuesday, 5th June we shall be having four days of festivities.

It must be our historic roots that’s making us all lovely & nostalgic because we fancied a bit of a trip back in time to when it all began for old Queenie & those heady days of sing-alongs by the piano, village fete games & when it was OK to wear a bow tie.

Each of our cafes will be doing their own take on the theme so keep a watch on the usual social media channels to find out what to expect where as the fun draws closer.

We shall of course be serving a proper afternoon tea – fabulous finger sandwiches, homemade scones with Westcountry clotted cream & jam, a cluster of the usual delicious cakes & a choice of our lovely loose leaf teas - all served as they ought to be on cake stand & in a proper tea pot.

Ed Sheeran Exclusive Concert Tickets

A bit of exciting news...

The triple platinum selling, double Brit award winning, Ed Sheeran is holding an exclusive concert on Tuesday, 22nd May at the Fleece in Bristol in support of the excellent One25 charity & we have been lucky enough to get our hands on two tickets to auction off to help them raise some much needed funds.  This is the only opportunity to see Ed in Bristol as his tour has sold out in all other venues.   Support acts include Luke Concannon (Nizlopi), Katie Sky and First Thought.  (Ts & Cs: Under 16's must be accompanied by an adult & all tickets are standing.) 

If you are interested in attending this one-off exclusive event, please let us have your bid (face value is £75 pr ticket) by noon on Friday, 18th May (melanie@bostonteaparty.co.uk) & the winner will be told by the end of that day - with more details about the event.

A bit more info about One25...
One25 has been working for 16 years in Bristol, benefiting women who are abused and socially marginalized through involvement in street based sex work. Their lives are characterized by chronic ill-health, life-controlling addictions, homelessness and the daily threat of extreme violence. Its mission is to reach out to women trapped in street sex-work, supporting them to break free and build new lives away from violence, poverty and addiction.  Last year 311 women involved in street sex-work used one or more of One25’s services. Of the 204 that were street sex-working, 27 were supported to take a life-transforming step away from the streets.
