Wives and Witches: Taking Tea with the Georgians and Victorians

Sun 02 Dec 12

Come and hear food historian Dr Annie Gray on a subject close to all of our hearts. From its early history as an unusual luxury, to its acceptance as a symbol of the English, tea has been used to fight the feminist cause, civilise brutal men, and discipline the poor. Sample period cakes as you sup from the ‘cup that cheers but does not inebriate’.
£12.00 per person, £10.00 Friends of The Bowes Museum
