The Victorian Tea

Please plan to join us this year on October 10, 2026

Every fall, for almost four decades, the women of DBE have welcomed the community to enjoy a traditional British tea, along with a raffle, silent auction and a bazaar filled with tempting  gifts and delicious baked goods.  Guests are encouraged to dress in period finery and wear hats or fascinators. 

Tickets are limited 

Traditional Afternoon Tea

Bring an appetite, because the tea includes:

• Four different finger sandwiches
• Scones, cream and jam
• Treats such as maids of honor, butter shortbread, and fairy cakes
• Homemade chocolates

And of course, bottomless pots of tea served with milk or lemon. 

All Hands on Deck

Planning for each tea begins months ahead, as we adjust the menu and bazaar offerings based on feedback. 

The day before and day of the tea is where we are so grateful for the men in our lives. We're capable women, but we appreciate the help, especially with managing the giant tea urns.
