About the Tea Room
Afternoon tea at The Midland has been a highlight of the Manchester social scene, retaining popularity since the hotel opened in 1903.
As Manchester’s only setting dedicated to afternoon tea, The Tea Room at The Midland is one of a kind. Served in opulent surroundings overlooking St Peter’s Square, The Tea Room has its own knowledgeable team to guide you through this quintessentially British pastime. Enjoy a delightful Manchester afternoon tea at The Midland Hotel.
A LITTLE HISTORY
Since its grand opening, the hotel has had the pleasure of welcoming many a king, queen, president and rock star. Not to mention hosting many special events, including the rooftop wedding of Israel Seiff and Rebecca Marks (the daughter of the founder of Marks & Spencer) in 1910.
Today, this Grade II listed building is a luxurious escape with a contemporary twist, providing the perfect setting for our Traditional Afternoon Tea.
On the 1st August 2024, The Tea Room partnered with Pommery Champagne to bring a timelessly elegant experience which delivers the finest afternoon tea experience in the city. Manchester was a key export city for Madame Pommery in 1874, and this partnership celebrates her wonderful achievements and 150 years since she created the style 'Brut Champagne'.
FESTIVE AFTERNOON TEA
Celebrate the season with a festive afternoon tea at The Midland Hotel Manchester, accompanied by complimentary mulled wine or cider for extra Christmas spirit. Set in the heart of the city, the Tea Room is the perfect treat after visiting Manchester’s Christmas markets or for a festive celebration.
Gather friends and family and enjoy a touch of luxury, tradition, and festive cheer. Available 12th November - 29th December.
