During COVID-19 churches up and down the UK have been supporting their communities. Please now support our Tea Party so we can help churches as they start to recover and open their doors once again. Please donate what you can (a minimum donation of £10 would make a big difference for us).

Even self-isolation cannot stop us from inviting you to be part of the nation’s largest on-line tea party. So, in great British tradition please dust off the best china, buy or bake the finest scones, select your favourite jam and cream and settle down for an entertaining afternoon of fun, competitions and companionship.

We are delighted that John Campbell, Verger of Lincoln Cathedral, will join us all in a cuppa as our special guest. He is set to regale us with a hilarious account of daily life at a busy cathedral.

The party will be held via Zoom. Do not worry if you do not have an account, we will send you a personal invitation prior to the big day and we will be on hand to help if needed.

• Is it jam or is it cream first? Take part in the online debate

• Bake your own scones and take part in the “Scone-off” for a chance to win a luxury Cream Tea Hamper

National Cream Tea Day was founded by Rodda’s Cornish Clotted Cream and Tiptree. We are pleased to be working in partnership with them to celebrate and keep alive this wonderfully British tradition.

This event will raise funds for the National Churches Trust's charitable work helping churches, chapels and meeting houses across the United Kingdom.
