They say that “Spring Is In The Air” in the hallowed walls of The Lanesborough Hotel. The very hotel where, just the name itself could conjure images of luxurious dreams, a grand dame of hospitality that consistently earns accolades rather than complaints, thanks to its truly exceptional facilities and service.

If a delightful little spring family getaway is on your mind, then look no further. While The Lanesborough is renowned for its exquisite stays, rejuvenating spas, and immaculate dining experiences, why not dive into something a little more playful, a touch more family-focused? To really indulge in quality time with your family.

This April promises a sprinkle of pure enchantment as The Lanesborough Hotel partners with the delightful Meri Meri, the design wizards behind the most charming children’s partyware, decorations, and gifts. Together, they are crafting a magical spring afternoon tea, an experience perfectly pitched for families looking to create cherished memories.

Step into the elegant Belgravia Room, and prepare to be utterly transported to a springtime wonderland. Here, it will be as if spring itself has decided to take up residence. Award-winning florists, Early Hours London Ltd, weave their magic into the space to create an immersive spring experience. The room will be adorned with an avenue of graceful trees, provided by Twilight Trees, their branches styled with delicate ribbons and bursting with flowers. These trees will frame a long, inviting banquet table, ready for an unforgettable afternoon tea.

Of course, the table itself will be just as breathtaking. Imagine a vibrant sea of cheerful daffodils and other springtime blooms, their colours dancing in the light, beautifully complemented by the whimsical and charming table decorations that Meri Meri are so famous for. And not just that, perched atop the table are the delectable yet gorgeous creations from Tattooed Bakers, bespoke novelty cake specialists. They provide the most imaginative and magical iced cakes and fancies – edible works of art that will grace the table and undoubtedly bring smiles to faces young and old.

To add an extra layer of enchantment, the award-winning children’s party planners, NOTORiOUS KiDS, will be on hand to put on an imaginative show. The hearts of the little diners will be completely captivated by enchanting interactive play and storytelling. Keep an eye out as spring fairies flutter into the scene, bringing the magic to life, with a touch of mischievous fun courtesy of the ever-charming Mr. Fox!

And as a final flourish to this already delightful experience, each child will receive a special gift to take home, a little memento to ensure the memories of this springtime wonderland linger long after the last crumb has been savoured.

So, when will it be taking place, exactly? Mark your calendars, because this special afternoon tea event will take place on Sunday, 27th April, 2025, with two convenient seating times available: the first at 11:30 AM and the second at 3:30 PM. Each sitting will last for a leisurely 1.5 hours, giving guests ample time to soak in the atmosphere and enjoy the festivities.

This enchanting afternoon tea is recommended for children aged 5 to 12, and each child must be accompanied by one adult to share in the springtime joy. The price for this unforgettable experience is £120 per adult (which includes a celebratory glass of Champagne) and £75 per child, encompassing the delightful Afternoon Tea for all.
