Friday Tea

Open House

Fridays | 3.30-5.00pm | Elm Library

Each Friday throughout the academic year we open our offices and welcome friends of the institute to join us for afternoon tea in the Elm Library. These afternoon teas can offer a chance to meet a visiting speaker or other special guest, but mostly they are simply an opportunity to gather together and enjoy tea and conversation at the end of a busy week. Throughout the year we feature honeys from local apiarists, and friends share teas from their summer travels.

For fall 2024 our first Friday tea will take place on August 30

There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea.
