This summer, swap Centre Court for the countryside with Ellenborough Park’s exclusive Wimbledon Afternoon Tea ( (June 30 – July 13). The 15th-century manor house offers the perfect setting to celebrate tennis season with quintessentially British elegance.
Tennis-inspired treats rival any Wimbledon tradition. Begin with refined finger sandwiches including smoked salmon with dill crème fraîche, classic egg and cress, and refreshing cucumber with cream cheese. Warm Middle White pork sausage rolls and sun-dried tomato, basil, and mozzarella quiche deliver satisfying seasonal flavors.
The experience continues with freshly baked scones served with rich clotted cream and preserves, plus an assortment of miniature cakes and desserts as unforgettable as a match point. Chilled Champagne or selections from a curated tea collection pair perfectly with sweeping views of the Cotswold countryside. Whether you’re a tennis fan or just looking for an elegant escape, Ellenborough Park’s Wimbledon Afternoon Tea offers the ideal blend of tradition, luxury, and summer indulgence.
About Ellenborough Park Ideally located at the base of Cleeve Hill and set within 90 acres of beautiful grounds—just moments from the famous Cheltenham Racecourse and close to many of England’s most picturesque villages—Ellenborough Park is the premier estate in the Cotswolds. The 15th-century manor house has been carefully restored to its former glory, blending history, elegance, and nature with modern comforts, top-tier amenities, and world-class service. Known for its timeless country house charm and indulgent offerings, the hotel’s 61 uniquely designed rooms and suites—refurbished in 2023—feature sumptuous Hypnos beds with luxury linens, modern conveniences, and expansive en-suite bathrooms with freestanding tubs. Accommodations include interconnecting suites ideal for families, garden or poolside rooms, and spacious suites. Ellenborough Park also offers a new private retreat, The Lodge. Opened last year, The Lodge is a home-away-from-home perfect for couples seeking a romantic hideaway or young families looking for extra privacy. This thoughtfully designed one-bedroom sanctuary includes a cozy sitting room with a wood-burning stove, a fully equipped kitchen, a private garden, and a spacious dining area.
