New for the festive season, Blenheim Palace have announced a Royal Festive Tea Workshop. On 7th December visitors can join HRH Princess Katarina of Yugoslavia and Royal Butler Grant Harold for an exclusive opportunity to enjoy a festive high tea whilst learning the etiquette and procedure of hosting one.

The workshop will consist of a tour of the Palace dressed for Christmas followed by a presentation and talk on hosting the perfect festive afternoon tea as well as a flower-arranging demonstration by a Royal Florist. This will be enjoyed in the Marlborough Room whilst visitors can sample a range of delicious sandwiches, crumpets, scones, cakes and mince pies.

HRH Princess Katarina is a member of two Royal Dynasties; the British Royal Family and the Serbian Royal Family, and has devised a personal insight into the correct form of etiquette and good manners as practised by the aristocracy and the upper classes. Her Royal Highness is in a unique position to share her deep knowledge and life-long experience and to impart it in an intimate and friendly way in partnership with Grant Harrold.

Grant Harrold is a British Household and Etiquette Consultant, Event Facilitator and Public Speaker for his company Nicholas Veitch. Before founding the company, Grant had spent the previous 17 years working as a butler, valet, PA and house manager in stately homes across the UK.
