Christmas Afternoon Tea

This festive season, take a moment to slow down and indulge in Afternoon Tea in the heart of the Botanics.

Enjoy a peaceful escape from the Christmas rush, set within one of city’s most beautiful winter landscapes. The perfect way to gather with loved ones and celebrate the season in comfort and style.

With a menu handcrafted with seasonal Scottish ingredients and produce from our onsite Kitchen Garden, savour a tiered display of delicate savouries, sweet treats, and freshly baked scones infused with subtle botanical flavours — a nature-inspired twist on a festive favourite.

Sip your way through a curated selection of teas and Fairtrade coffee, upgrade your experience and add a little extra sparkle with a glass of Pommery champagne, or warm up from the cold with mulled wine or a signature festive cocktail, perfectly created to capture the flavours of the season.

As daylight fades, let the magic continue with an evening stroll through the Gardens breathtaking Christmas lights trail — a dazzling celebration of the season that brings the landscape to life after dark. Tickets available to book separately here.
