UCW Downton Abbey High Tea
Come enjoy High Tea in the tradition of “Downton Abbey”! Savour a variety of traditional tea-time treats with a soothing warm cuppa (in real tea cups!) and, of course, some stimulating conversation. Gentlewomen and Gentlemen are both encouraged to dress in costume—or, if you prefer to make headlines with a single fashionable accessory, come wearing a fancy hat, headband, or “fascinator” on your head. Tickets are $25 for adults and young people over 12; they are $10 for children 5-12.
To purchase tickets, there are several options: (1) See Dorothy Donnelly after Sunday worship (she will be at a table in the auditorium); (2) Come to the WUC office during office hours (Mon-Wed, 10am to 1pm); and (3) Email westminster@westminsterorangeville.ca to request the actual number of tickets you wish to purchase. Once you are given the total cost, then you may pay for them online via e-transfer.
Do come; we are so looking forward to seeing you!
