The best recommendation we ever get is a quiet word from someone who's already been here. If you know a couple still searching, tell them to come and see us. No pressure, just a walk around the grounds and an honest conversation. The castle tends to do the rest. ❀️

πŸ‘‘ WIN | A Royal Cream Tea for Four at Chiddingstone Castle πŸ«–

POST UPDATE: Competition entry now closed.

This Saturday, 13th June, we're celebrating two very special occasions in the most British way possible - with scones, clotted cream, jam, and a proper pot of tea in our rose garden.

We're marking The King's Official Birthday, Trooping the Colour and a deeply personal milestone for Britain: what would have been Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's 100th birthday.

To honour her memory, we're serving our cream tea on the very same china design used when Queen Elizabeth II sat down to tea with Paddington Bear - one of the most beloved moments in royal history.

And at 2pm, we'll be joining The Tea Group's National Tea Moment - raising a cup together to toast Her Majesty's centenary, as the nation pauses to remember.

🎁 The prize:
✨ Cream tea for four, served in our rose garden
✨ Traditional homemade scones with clotted cream & jam
✨ Pots of tea or coffee
✨ Served on the same china design as HM The Queen & Paddington's famous tea

To enter:
1️⃣ Follow
2️⃣ Tag someone you'd bring to tea in the comments
3️⃣ Share this post to your Stories for a bonus entry

Winner will be announced Friday morning. Open to UK residents. Winner must be available this Saturday 13th June.
