THE ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF HORRORS X HALLOWEEN AFTERNOON TEA

THE ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF HORRORS X HALLOWEEN AFTERNOON TEA

From October 17 to October 31

There is a particular kind of magic that arrives with Halloween.

The evenings draw in, the shadows grow longer, pumpkins appear on doorsteps and, for a little while, the ordinary world becomes a place of spells, strange creatures and things that go bump in the night.

For the 10th year, The Assembly House is once again opening the doors to its very own House of Horrors, with our much-loved Afternoon Tea given a deliciously spooky re-vamp.

Pastry Wizard Mark Mitson and his team of Sorcerer’s Apprentices have been at work in the kitchens, conjuring up a collection of Halloween creations that are as playful as they are delicious.

Expect Eye Candy, Deadly Nightshade Gateau Opera, The Enchanted Toad, Ghosts of Raspberry Past, The Cookie Monster and The Pumpkin Patch, alongside our much-loved Afternoon Tea favourites.

So gather your little witches and wizards, summon your favourite people and step inside.

Settle into one of our beautiful Georgian dining rooms, where chandeliers glow, cakes lurk on the tiered stands and something deliciously wicked is always just around the corner.
