Victorian Valentine Tea

Join Footwork & Frolick for our first fundraiser on Sunday February 11! Enjoy a traditional 3-course tea menu of savories, scones, and sweets at the historic Boutwell House in Groton, MA. Members of Footwork & Frolick will serve tea in a timeline of Victorian daywear, and guests can try their hand at a variety of period amusements available on each table. A perfect opportunity to pull out a favorite historical or modern ensemble!

Profits from the tea will go to support operating costs of the 501c3 non-profit organization. Be our valentine and help us offer local historical activities, conduct social history scholarship, and provide educational outreach.

Tea and Treats

Choose from a variety of local tea blends, or try them all! Each guest will receive a selection of savory items, scones, and sweets to accompany their tea; a choice of standard or vegan and gluten free menus will be available.

Parlor Amusements

Tea will be served by costumed hosts representing different fashions of the Victorian era. They will be happy to chat about their ensembles and answer your fashion questions. Each table will also feature a variety of period amusements that guests can try while you sip.

Seatings

Two seatings are available at Boutwell House: 11am and 2pm. Each seating includes the full menu served on vintage china in a lovely historic setting, and lasts about 90 minutes. Please note that as table arrangements are fixed small parties may be seated together. We kindly request that groups purchase tickets together to make table assignments easier; if you and other members of your party are purchasing separately, please note the name(s) associated with the other ticket holders during checkout.

Celebrating? Consider reserving the dining room for a private tea experience that can seat up to 8.
