DCA offers a little taste of Downton Abbey for the Holidays

What a holiday treat!  Carolyn’s Absolutely Fabulous Events is once again bringing a proper British Tea Room to the Darien Community Association on Thursday, December 12th.

These scrumptious teas are ranked among the ”Top 5 Out Of 50 Ways to Rediscover Where You Live” in The 2013 Insider’s Guide to New Canaan, Darien and Rowayton, where they called the experience “Another Step Closer to Downton Abbey.”

Christmas Tea is a great way to take a break from holiday shopping and get together with friends. Classically British treats will be offered – dainty sandwiches; homemade scones with jam and clotted cream; a selection of holiday cakes and pastries – in a beautiful, airy setting within our beautiful, historic estate. Special diets – gluten free, etc. – can be catered to with advance notice.

Reservations are not required, but may be made online at dariendca.org, or by contacting the DCA at info@dariendca.org or 203-655-9050. The DCA is located at 274 Middlesex Road in Darien.
