This Mother’s Day, treat the special women in your life to an unforgettable afternoon tea experience at the Natural History Museum. Aptly named Inspired by Nature, an array of sweet and savoury treats has been expertly created by Benugo pastry chefs to celebrate British farmers and growers and is inspired by nature’s wonders to showcase the very best of British seasonal produce.

Exciting choices for all, including vegan options, will be available. Guests will be able to choose from a hand-picked selection of loose-leaf teas alongside Coronation chicken sandwiches; British cucumber with black pepper Crematta on white bread; and Cherry tomato, red onion, Superstraccia and pesto tart, followed by Earl Grey scones served with Cornish clotted cream & Tiptree strawberry jam; and a sweet pea & lemon cake.

Afternoon tea at the Natural History Museum wouldn’t be complete without an Earth pot filled with raspberry and chocolate; a dinosaur-footprint macaron or an ammonite cookie, ensuring a truly nature-immersive experience.

Set amongst five-acres of nature, the Garden Kitchen offers spectacular views of urban nature and the Evolution Garden, where the newest dinosaur Fern gazes down on an immersive timeline of life on earth, told through flowers, plants, geology and brass inlays of creatures.

Inspired by Nature, priced from £35/ with Prosecco £40, will be served in the Garden Kitchen, and inside The Anning Rooms, an exclusive members and patrons’ space boasting unrivalled views of the Museum’s famous architecture.
