Mother's Day Afternoon Tea

Celebrate Mothering Sunday with a relaxed Afternoon Tea and an exclusive behind the scenes Stores Tour at Maidstone Museum. Treat Mum to a leisurely hour of tea and cake in the accessible Glass Room, then join Collections Manager Samantha Harris for a guided look into the museum stores. These intimate tours reveal hidden treasures from the collection and are a memorable way to mark the day.

Sessions run 10:30 to 12:30 and 14:00 to 16:00, with each timeslot including one hour for Afternoon Tea and one hour for the tour. Places are limited to 24 people per session, so booking early is recommended. The event is suitable for all ages, though the stores tour is recommended for children aged 10 and over due to the nature of the spaces.

The venue is Maidstone Museum, St Faith Street, Maidstone ME14 1LH. Please note that while the Glass Room and toilets are fully accessible, the narrow corridors of the Stores Room mean the tour is not wheelchair accessible. This family-friendly Mother's Day experience combines delicious refreshments with an engaging museum insight, making it an ideal gift for Mums, step-mums, grandmothers and sisters. Book now to secure a special and educational treat this Mothering Sunday.
