We are delighted to launch a series of Afternoon Tea experiences which will be available to enjoy at Thirlestane on set days throughout the Spring and Summer.
You will be served in the Castle's atmospheric Victorian Kitchen with its original 19th-century range oven whilst overlooking the Rose Garden. We have teamed up with our local award-winning Lauder bakery, Firebrick Brasserie, to offer this delicious Afternoon Tea experience. The menu consists of a selection of finger sandwiches made using homemade bread and locally sourced ingredients for the fillings, and a selection of mouthwatering sweet treats.
The decadent treat can be enjoyed before or after a castle tour, or as a stand-alone memorable experience.
