Join us for an elegant, fun tea party featuring a variety of appetizers and teas to sample, as well as a hat contest!
It's time for our annual Spring Tea at Thistle Cottage! This is one of our community's most-anticipated events each year, and we can't wait to host everyone here for this year's celebration!
This annual event features an assortment of small appetizers and desserts as well as a variety of teas, all served in the elegant, historic setting of Thistle Cottage. We'll also again be coordinating our popular best hat contest, so make sure you wear your favorite headgear to the event. 😃 The judge's favorite gets a prize!
This event is geared toward adults, but teens and well-behaved children of an appropriate age may also attend.
Tickets will be available ($17.50 each) at Thistle Cottage starting April 21 at 9 a.m. Seats are limited and sell out VERY quickly (in one hour in 2024!), so DO NOT DELAY. Please reserve your tickets as soon as possible if you plan to attend! Tickets may be reserved in person, by phone at 270-338-4760, or at the registration link included on this page. A valid phone number is required for all ticket reservations. Failing to include this information may result in your registration being canceled. We will also need the full name of each guest attending so we can prepare place cards.
Due to the high demand for this program, we require payment in advance. Tickets reserved online or by phone will be held for 3 days pending payment. If payment is not received in that time, we will release those tickets to another patron. We accept payment by cash, card (in person or via secure link sent by email/text) or check.
Call us at Thistle Cottage (270-338-4760) if you have any questions! We look forward to hearing from you on April 21 to save your seats and seeing you on May 10 for this special yearly event!
*Please note that our tables seat 6 individuals and will be assigned on a first come, first served basis. We will make every effort to keep your group together, but in some rare instances, especially as tickets become more limited and tables begin to fill up, this may be impossible. If this becomes necessary, we will contact you at the phone number given to notify you of this situation and discuss options.
Large groups (more than 6 people) will be split across two adjacent tables. There is a limit of 6 tickets per reservation, so if you are attending with a larger group, you will need to make an additional reservation for the remainder of your party. You can add a note to your reservation(s) that you are attending as part of a larger group so we can plan seating accordingly.
