Description

Have a luxurious afternoon tea with a difference on the opulent Belmond Northern Belle, a train with carriages dating back from the glamorous era of the 1920s and 30s. Board the train and be guided to a comfortable seat by a liveried steward. Once the magnificent vehicle sets off on its round trip, tuck into a sumptuous Mad Hatter’s afternoon tea, including purple sandwiches, wonderful cakes and scones, tea, coffee and half a bottle of champagne – but no dormice. Strolling musicians and a table magician provide further entertainment, with a few more surprises on the day. The Northern Belle is one of the most prestigious methods of travel and this is one round trip you’ll never forget.
