Holiday Tea and Open House

Chilly weather is already here—and so are the holidays and holiday shopping. Nothing sets the mood like the annual Holiday Tea on High Street at the Houston Museum for Decorative Arts scheduled for Dec. 3 with two seatings: 1-2:30 p.m. and 2:30-4 p.m. 

As always, the event is a fundraiser for the unique Houston Museum—and the gift shop will also be open with plenty of gift-giving ideas plus a 10 percent discount. 

The authentic English tea party features scones with lemon curd, clotted cream, finger sandwiches, trifle, savories and sweets, in addition to English tea. Admission includes a guided tour of the Victorian home and its beautiful and rare collection of antiques.

Admission:  $25 per adult; $5 for children 4-12; and $20 for 65 and older. Reservations are suggested but not required. Please RSVP by calling 423-267-7176 or email to houstonmuseumchattanooga@gmail.com.
