Theatre Royal Drury Lane is delighted to unveil its latest food and drink offering — a brand-new Showstopping Afternoon Tea that brings the magic of theatre to the timeless tradition of Afternoon Tea.

The drama is coming to Afternoon Tea on Thursday, 17th April. The announcement is made this week in celebration of World Theatre Day, which will take place this Thursday 27th March.

As true impresarios of live entertainment, LW Theatres know how to craft unforgettable experiences, and the new Showstopping Afternoon Tea will be no exception. As the only venue in London to offer this unique and one-of-a-kind experience, and the only theatre in the West End to serve Afternoon Tea, this experience will have something for everyone with outstanding food, drink and joyful nods to the theatre.

Theatre Royal Drury Lane’s Showstopping Afternoon Tea is served in the stunning surroundings of the iconic Grand Saloon – one of the finest Regency rooms in London. This experience perfectly combines the magic of theatre with exquisite dining.

The immersive experience begins as guests are greeted by the theatre’s renowned Red Coats, known for their extraordinary VIP service over the last 30 years, who will regale guests with tales of the theatre’s magnificent restoration and its rich history.

Staying true to theatrical traditions, this Showstopping Afternoon Tea is staged in two acts, and, as with any great production, there’s an encore – with plentiful tea, champagne and much more.

Act One invites guests to ‘tread the boards,’ with the savoury options presented on a limited-edition serving board, crafted from the original 101-year-old stage floor removed during the 2019 building restoration.
The Showstopping sweets in Act Two will be concealed beneath a resplendent red velvet curtain that is dramatically lifted at the table for the big reveal, evoking the grandeur and essence of theatre’s most iconic moments.

The Lane’s beautiful terrace bar overlooking Covent Garden will also be open soon for guests to soak up the drama of Afternoon Tea or have a drink and nibbles after work.

Whether you are a theatre aficionado or a culinary connoisseur, the brand-new Showstopping Afternoon Tea at The Lane will offer an unforgettable experience.

Launching on 17th April, be sure to pre-book this extraordinary new offering, located in the heart of London’s iconic theatreland.
