Celebrate National Cream Tea Day
Shortly after Royal Ascot, just before Wimbledon and the month of the Queen’s birthday celebrations, National Cream Tea Day on 28th June is the perfect excuse to get together with family and friends, enjoy delicious scones, jam and Cornish clotted cream, all in the name of raising money for charity. The Cream Tea Society is a community that shares in the love and enjoyment of this popular pastime, dating back to the 1840’s – founded by Rodda’s Cornish Clotted Cream and Wilkin & Sons Tiptree.
