This summer, trade Centre Court for the countryside with Ellenborough Park’s exclusive Wimbledon Afternoon Tea (30th June – 13th July). The 15th-century manor house provides the perfect backdrop for celebrating tennis season with quintessentially British elegance.
Tennis-inspired treats rival any Wimbledon tradition. Begin with refined finger sandwiches including smoked salmon with dill crème fraîche, classic egg & cress, and cooling cucumber with cream cheese. Warm middle white pork sausage rolls and sun-blushed tomato, basil & mozzarella quiche deliver satisfying seasonal flavours.
The experience continues with freshly baked scones served alongside rich clotted cream and preserves, plus an array of miniature cakes and desserts crafted to be as memorable as a match point. Chilled Champagne or selections from the curated tea collection complement sweeping views across the Cotswold countryside. Whether tennis devotees or those seeking an elegant escape, Ellenborough Park’s Wimbledon Afternoon Tea serves up the perfect blend of tradition, luxury, and summer indulgence.
About Ellenborough Park:
Perfectly positioned at the foot of Cleeve Hill, located within 90-acres of glorious grounds, just moments away from the infamous Cheltenham Racecourse and nearby to many of England’s most picturesque villages, Ellenborough Park is the finest estate in The Cotswolds. The 15th century manor house has been lovingly restored to its original glory, combining history, elegance and nature with contemporary comforts, state-of-the-art facilities and world-class service. Renowned for its timeless country house charm and indulgent facilities, the hotel’s 61 uniquely designed rooms and suites – which were refurbished in 2023 – are all complete with sumptuous Hypnos beds fitted with luxury linen, modern amenities and expansive ensuite bathrooms with roll-top baths. Ranging from interconnecting suites – perfect for families – poolside or garden rooms and sizable suites, Ellenborough Park also features a new private hideaway, The Lodge. Having opened last year, The Lodge is a home-away-from-home, perfect for couples looking for an exclusive retreat, or young families.
