The Tiger Who Came to Tea

We were invited last week by our lovely friend Dana to have a very special tea at The Kensington Hotel in Queen's Gate London. Its a new event at the Hotel and on every last Thursday of the month they have a children's tea party followed by story time. Its such a lovely idea and what makes it that little bit more special is that the books are read or performed with actors from The English Youth Theatre, making for a very visual and vocal story time indeed! 

Can you guess which story was going to be read? Its one of my favourites!

Mini wore her Tiger mask and her favourite silver sparkle coat from H&M for the event. 

There's lots of room to spread out and listen to the story. Perfect for lolling about and eating your tea.

Phin and Mini enjoyed joining in with the telling of the story with lots of roaring and shouting and Phin was especially good at all the sound effects, there were screeching and door bells ringing and pots and pans banging and all sorts.

And the scones with clotted cream, gingerbread men and perfect triangle sandwiches went down a storm

Did you guess who came to tea?

If you fancy joining their next one on Thursday 27th February at 4pm call The Kensignton Hotel on 0207 589 6300. Tea costs £20 per person and includes as much tea and cake as a Tiger could eat plus a lovely little goody bag. Now i wonder what book is next.... i hear he has a very long trunk
