Two sittings each day: 12:00 and 2:00

The Old School House Arts Centre and the Qualicum Beach Museum Society have joined together to invite you to revisit the charming tradition of tea in the afternoon.   Delicate finger sandwiches, tender scones, rich cakes, fancy pastries and the finest teas will be lavishly presented using vintage and antique tableware including exquisite teacups, fine linens and silverware. Quiet piano background music playing seasonal tunes will complete the experience.

The Mid Island Floral Design Club will create a magical atmosphere with artistically decorated trees that will twinkle with holiday cheer. Imaginative Christmas wreaths designed by the club will be displayed and a silent auction will begin to help fill the stockings of local charities. A winter-themed exhibition of paintings (featuring Brian Scott, Grant Leier and Nixie Barton) will also be hanging in the galleries.

The Winter Victorian Tea will be offered in two sittings daily at 12:00 and 2:00 on Friday, November 21 and Saturday, November 22 at The Old School House Arts Centre. Saturday will have the bonus of a fashion show called "Suit Yourself" featuring women's suiting from the early 1900's to modern day.

Tickets are $15.00 per person or $50.00 for a table of four. Proceeds from the Tea will help support the two organizations. Phone 250-752-6133 to reserve your table.
