SALON DU THE: Interactive Edwardian Tea Party at the Richmond Literature Festival at Ham House, 27th November ÂŁ26 As part of the Richmond Literature Festival, Gideon Reeling Theatre Company present a magical theatrical dining experience. Afternoon Tea has, since the 17th century, had a close association with the great houses of the country. The preciousness of tea itself and the lavish nature of many of the delicacies we associate with a really good afternoon tea, not to mention the fact that it requires some time to idle mid afternoon, have all served to preserve the exclusivity of this peculiar meal for many years. Join in a debate, be entertained by the butler, the maid and even the Lady of the Manor while enjoying a sumptuous tea, provided by specialist bakers, Lily Vanilli. htt p://www.r ic hmond.go v.uk/ literature_festival
