Billy Bishop Home & Museum is preparing to welcome the New Year with a touch of high style.

The popularity of our Summer and Christmas Victorian Teas have prompted us to begin hosting Specialty Themed Teas monthly at the Victorian-era home. There will be two sittings at each tea, 1:30pm and 3pm, and be served in our dining room. The cost for the tea is $15 per person, which includes your admission to the Museum.

Guests attending these Specialty Teas will be served by traditionally costumed Victorian maids and be treated to assorted cakes, cookies, and chocolates which will complement the tea theme, and, of course, Billy’s Blend Tea. Museum Curator, Emily Jolliffe, will stop in to chat about an intriguing artefact or little known fact about the Museum or Billy Bishop.

The first tea we are holding will be on Wednesday, February 13th, a celebration of Valentine’s Day. The menu for this tea includes cherry cheesecake, heart-shaped sugar cookies, assorted chocolates, and Billy’s Blend Tea. Make this Valentine’s Day special and bring the person that suits you to a tea!

The next tea will be on Wednesday, March 19th and be GREEN! To celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, we will serve green tea, but don’t worry, if you don’t want green tea, we will still have our wonderful Billy’s Blend Tea on hand. In April, we will celebrate Easter on Wednesday, April 17th.

Delicious food and a relaxed atmosphere will make our tea the closest you’ll ever get to having a perfect afternoon.

Space is limited, so pre-registration with payment is required. Reservations can be made by visiting Billy Bishop Home & Museum at 948 3rd Ave West in Owen Sound. The Museum hours are 12pm to 4:00pm Tuesday to Friday. You can also call 519-371-0031 or email [email protected] to register for the tea.
