Overview

Fans of the British TV series Downton Abbey will get the chance to relive the show in the comfort of their local suburb. Lady Mary's High Tea boasts a traditional English high tea with Earl Grey scones, dainty finger sandwiches and of course, a glass of bubbles all on offer. 

Presented by Mary Eats Cake, reminisce about your favourite moments from Downton Abbey's stacked six-season run. However, fans of the show will know that the drama and elegance are never-ending with a third film set for release in Australia on September 11 – Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale. So to celebrate, there really isn't anything else to do apart from attending this high tea experience.

From September 3 to September 28, step into the tea rooms of the charming outer-suburb of Montrose or the always vibrant Brunswick, and feel instantly transported back in time. Temporarily forget about the year 2025, and pretend you're part of the aristocracy of the early 1900s. 

Then, indulge for two hours in savoury delights, decadent desserts, specialty teas and cocktails. You'll leave feeling poised and demure, ready for your romantic storyline with a man or woman from high society. 

Prices start at $82 for a weekday sitting, while weekends are $85 per person. To reserve your spot, head to the Mary Eats Cake website
