Description
Due to public demand, we are now offering online reservations so patrons of the Great Dickens Christmas Fair can make a reservation for tea in advance of their visit for $35 per person. Guests who make an online reservation are seated in our new Solarium dining area –– which serves High Tea four times each day. Guests receive the same fixed menu as the High Tea in the main dining room and also receive a teapot to take home. Seating is family style and is limited. Times for these seatings are at 11:30am, 1:00pm, 2:30 and 4:00 daily. Reservations must be made at least one day in advance of your visit to the Dickens Fair. We cannot accommodate same day online reservations and Great Dickens Christmas Fair tickets are not included. The 1:00pm tickets are held for groups of 10 or more. Please contact Sue Honor to book this slot.
When you make your reservation you will leave a $10.00 per person deposit. The deposit of $10.00 will be applied to your final bill of $35 per person. The deposit is non-refundable if your reservation is cancelled within a week of the date you reserved.

The best experience ever. My friends and I make a bee line when the Fair 1st opens to reserve our places for High Tea at 4. They even had no problem accommodating my new dietary needs as a vegan. Plus it was delicious! There are a couple of quick entertainments and you get a lovely 2 cup tea pot to take home.
I’ve been going for so long that I’ve collected every color and possibly have more than 1 of the same color.
In the past I would trade my teapot for a 3 cup 1 and pay a little more for it. I plan to get the trivets to match 1 day but you can trade your tea pot for either a tea spoon or a cute little ornament. I chose the teaspoon but I may purchase something else as well next year.
This is totally worth it and the wait staff are always amazing! ❤

Usually not a problem getting on the list for the same day and I was SO HAPPY that last time they were able to accommodate vegan. It’s part of the tradition of the Fair for us and a visit just wouldn’t be complete without it. As with many things, I notice they’ve realized the popularity and that they could seat more people and cut corners with a scaled down, long table format. It’s still a fun experience even with the long tables and seated with other patrons.
