Spreading Christmas Joy!
Tea with Santa was born in the summer of 2021 when members of St. John's the Baptist Church proposed to run a secular Christmas Event that aimed to build community spirit and bring people together after the COVID lockdowns.

Can I bring additional children with me on the day without booking in advance?
No. To ensure there is as little waste as possible we prepare the right amount of food for how many guests have booked on the event. All gifts (including personalized ones) are prepared in advance.

We will do our best to accommodate all people and their needs. Our kitchen is safely and securely cleaned before and after each event. There are no nuts present in the kitchen, but other groups do use the kitchen throughout the week, there may be traces of nuts remaining in spite of our best efforts to remove them. If you have any requirements, please contact us before booking to make us aware.
