🫖 Tea, Tartan, & A Bit of Mischief!

Gather ‘round for an afternoon that’s equal parts elegant and lively! We’re serving up a full Traditional Afternoon Tea—dainty sandwiches, warm scones, and sweets galore—all to the rhythm of our spectacular Highland and Irish Dance Troupes. And keep an eye on the service! Your tea and treats will be hand-delivered by your very own kilted lads, proudly sporting their finest kilts for the occasion.


🦵 The Main Events

  • Ode To Tea: We’ll begin the festivities with a bit of soul! Enjoy a proper opening and a word of welcome delivered by TCFA Chaplain, Pastor Andrew Ross.
  • Highland Dance: Prepare to be stirred by the power and grace of our Highland dancers, as Trish leads them through the ancient steps of the hills.
  • Irish Dance: Watch the sparks fly as the Bracken School of Dance, led by Beth, takes the floor with their lightning-fast steps and high-energy rhythm.
  • The Hat Contest: Our theme is Red Clovers and Ruby Gladiolus. Get those creative juices flowing and show off your most fabulous floral hats!
  • The Bonniest Knees: It’s time for the kilted gents to shine! We’re premiering our first-ever Bonniest Knees Contest. If you’ve got the legs for a kilt, step up and see if yours take the crown.
  • Treasures & Trinkets: Between sips, wander over to the Live Auction on the patio (1:00 pm – 3:00 pm) or browse the Merchandise Table for a little something to take home.
