Afternoon Tea
Looking for a lovely spot to enjoy afternoon tea? There’s plenty to choose from in Buxton.
Why not visit No.6 Tearooms in The Square, across from the Pavilion Gardens and Buxton Opera House? Or follow in the footsteps of queens and noble courtiers and soak up the rich history while taking afternoon tea at the Old Hall Hotel. Or head for the heights of the Palace Hotel, sit in the elegant conservatory and get a feel for the Victorian hey-day of the town. If you’re looking for a more central location, head for the Pavilion Restaurant & Bar, with its views over the promenade and Pavilion Gardens, or take a seat in the grand, Georgian Buxton Crescent Hotel.
