ADFAS Brisbane: Everything Stops for Tea! A Social History
It was during the 18th century that the rituals of tea drinking were established. The cafe boom of the late 19th century resulted in teashops in the large department stores, seaside resorts enjoyed the tea- dance, the great transatlantic passenger liners were floating palaces where everything stopped for tea, and by the 1920s and 1930s taking tea in style was a way of life.
This lecture combines social history with fashion and interior decorating and a wonderful selection of images will demonstrate the elegance of taking tea from the 18th century to the 1950s.
Bring a guest.
Refreshments will be provided after each lecture session, morning tea after the morning lecture and wine and cheese after the evening lecture.
