Afternoon Tea on the Train

A themed afternoon tea served aboard a real train car — our most-loved event, and seatings sell out ahead. Book early.

Step aboard our fully dressed train car — a real set piece from past productions — for an afternoon tea like nowhere else in Hamilton. Every sitting has its own theme, from literary classics to far-flung destinations, with a menu to match.

Aboard the Train

Allergies & dietary needs: we accommodate wherever we can with advance notice — tell us when you book, or send us a note before your sitting.

Arrive a little early: tea is served aboard the train, and boarding starts before the posted time. The rest of the sets are open to explore before and after.

Questions

Where is tea served?

Aboard the train car inside Hamilton Prop House, 422 Barton Street East, Hamilton — a working film-prop warehouse you're welcome to explore around your sitting.

Do I need to book ahead?

Yes — every sitting is ticketed and they regularly sell out one to several weeks in advance. Book from the listings on this page.

Can you accommodate allergies or dietary restrictions?

Wherever we can with advance notice. Tell us when you book, or contact us before your sitting and we'll do our best.

What are the themes?

Every tea has its own theme and matching menu — recent sittings have travelled from Provence to Avonlea to Hogwarts. Check the listings above for what's coming.

Are children welcome?

Some sittings are family-friendly and some are grown-ups-only — each event listing says which.
