DERBY - Come and learn about Victorian culture and Osborne Family life at a Victorian Tea etiquette workshop at Kellogg Environmental Center from 1-2:30 p.m. July 9.
Fans of Downton Abbey and tea drinkers alike will enjoy this program that takes visitors back in time to the late Victorian Era (1837-1901) when Frances Osborne Kellogg would have been a young lady in her 20s hosting and going to tea parties.
During the workshop, visitors will learn Victorian tea etiquette and the difference between the types of tea services, such as low and high tea.
Participants will understand and demonstrate the social “do’s and don’ts” of a tea party.
There will also be a special presentation about the history of the Osborne family as seen through the lens of the award-winning television series Downton Abbey. At the end of the program, visitors can take home handcrafted teas and teabags and tour the Osborne Homestead Museum where antique tea sets will be on display.
The workshop fee is $5, and refreshments will be served. The Kellogg Environmental Center, 500 Hawthorne Ave., is open 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. It is operated by the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.
