Embrace the season of new beginnings with a beautifully crafted Spring Afternoon Tea at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, a serene escape set among blossoming landscapes and the vibrant colours of early spring.
This Spring, take a moment to slow down and soak in the beauty around you. Whether you're treating your mum for Mother’s Day or adding something extra‑special to your Easter weekend, Afternoon Tea at the Botanics is the perfect way to celebrate longer days, brighter skies, and the joy of the season.
Begin your visit with a wander through our stunning spring displays, including our iconic rhododendron collection, before settling in for a delicious afternoon tea inspired by nature itself.
Our menu is handcrafted with seasonal Scottish ingredients and fresh harvest from our onsite Kitchen Garden, featuring delicate savouries, sweet treats, and warm scones infused with subtle botanical flavours for a fresh seasonal twist on a timeless favourite. Choose from our carefully selected teas and Fairtrade coffee or elevate your afternoon with a glass of Pommery champagne or a handcrafted cocktail, created to capture the bright, uplifting flavours of the season.
As the Garden springs back to life, there’s no better place to savour the moment and enjoy the simple pleasure of good food, good company, and nature in full bloom.
From £38 per person. Little ones can join the fun too, with Children’s Afternoon Tea from £15 - making this a celebration the whole family can enjoy. Members enjoy a 10% discount.
