Complete your visit to Mythic Reinvention: Five Decades of Costume and Craft with a delicious Afternoon Tea in the heart of the Royal Exchange Theatre.

After exploring 50 years of extraordinary costume design, craftsmanship and theatrical storytelling, take time to relax and enjoy a traditional Afternoon Tea in one of Manchester’s most iconic buildings.

Our Afternoon Tea features a selection of freshly prepared finger sandwiches, warm homemade scones served with clotted cream and jam, and an assortment of handcrafted sweet treats, all accompanied by your choice of tea or barista-made coffee.

Whether you’re visiting the exhibition with friends or family, Afternoon Tea is the perfect way to extend your experience and celebrate an afternoon of creativity, heritage and theatre. Or why not upgrade to include a glass of prosecco and raise a glass to our 50th anniversary?

And you don’t need to be visiting Mythic Reinvention to join us. Whether you’re exploring the exhibition, meeting friends or simply fancy an afternoon treat, everyone is welcome.
