This Tastour will finish at Sketch. The cost of the afternoon tea is £39 and is not included in the price of this event.
One of the many reasons Sketch is reknowned for it’s afternoon tea is their inspirational redesign of their venue. Every two years they transform their ‘gallery’.
They have possibly the coolest toliets, I know that sounds quirky, but have a look here
