Tea Rooms open from 12 noon on Friday and from 10am Saturday and Sunday. BRING YOUR OWN SEATING - camping chairs or picnic blankets and please dress for our beloved English weather!


Teapot Tea Garden, Britchcombe Farm, Uffington, SN7 7QJ.

Friday 11th, Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th August (SOLD OUT)
