From Monday 11 to Friday 15 April 2011, The Dorchester will be putting on its celebrated Mad Hatter’s Afternoon Tea inspired by Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland with entertainment by English National Ballet’s young dancers. The Mad Hatter, the March Hare, the Dormouse and Alice herself will be found pirouetting, plié-ing and jeté-ing amongst The Promenade tables, stopping to share magical tales with younger guests.
The Mad Hatters Afternoon Tea includes a selection of Alice in Wonderland inspired cakes, pictured above, as well as delicious savoury finger sandwiches, homemade scones and pastries. Accompanying adults will be able to sink back into The Promenade’s inviting sofas and enjoy the entertainment with a glass of champagne.
Afternoon tea sittings are at 2.15pm and at 4.45pm, and are priced at £50 per adult including a glass of Champagne and £30 for children. (Prices are inclusive of VAT and exclusive of service charge at 12.5%). For every Mad Hatter's Afternoon Tea that is ordered, £1 will be donated to Cancer Research UK. For reservations, please telephone The Dorchester on +44 (0)20 7629 8888 or email restaurants.uk@dorchestercollection.com.

The Dorchester, the iconic London flagship of the Dorchester Collection, is situated at the heart of London’s Mayfair on Park Lane, with rooms and suites affording expansive views of Hyde Park. The Dorchester Spa opened in May 2009 after a multimillion transformation to offer indulgent pampering in a glamorous art deco setting. A wide range of dining is available to guests in The Promenade, The Bar and The Grill. China Tang offers traditional Cantonese cuisine, while three Michelin star Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester is one of London’s finest contemporary French dining experiences.
