It’s always been something we have wanted to do and to have the chance to bring two Blackpool icons, plus the very British tradition of afternoon tea, together all in the same tour is very exciting!”

The first Afternoon Tea experience takes to the rails on Wednesday 1^st June, making it the perfect way to begin celebrations of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
