Group Afternoon Tea Tour with a little extra Harrogate style
The Group Afternoon Tea Tour with a little extra Harrogate style is hosted by Kay Atkinson and her company Yorkshire Appetite.
Kay loves nothing more than wandering around a new place soaking up the sounds and smells, finding out about history and culture and getting a feel for a place and finally, trying local foods and drinks. Hence her reason for starting Yorkshire Appetite.
Afternoon Tea was such an integral part of the social life of Harrogate in its Victorian Spa heyday and is still a key part of the Harrogate experience today. Kay wanted to add a little history and context to the wonderful experience by adding an extra insight into the history of this traditional pastime.
Kay also runs a Harrogate Food Tour & Tasting and a vegan version of the food tour for non meat eaters – Vegan Food Tour of Harrogate. Her group tours are available for 5 people or more and are the perfect way to celebrate a special event or landmark birthday – Artisan Food Tour of Otley, Afternoon Tea Tour with a little extra Harrogate style
