Global Tea Party

The highlight of every Nutrition & Hydration Week.

Join in

Hold a tea party wherever you are

On the Wednesday of Nutrition & Hydration Week we invite our whole community to hold tea parties in their organisations.

It shows your commitment to nutritional care and helps improve nutritional intake for your patients and customers. It’s also a great way to bring people together and create some joy and fun.

Share photos of your tea party on social media using #NHWeek and tag us @NHWeek.

Plan your tea party

Recipes, invitations, menus and place cards to get you started. You’ll find more on our resources page.

Competition time

Congratulations to the winners of the 2024 Afternoon Tea Party Competition

Afternoon tea from Harrogate Neighbours Housing Association

Harrogate Neighbours Housing Association

The team at Harrogate Neighbours Housing Association regularly serve afternoon tea at The Cuttings to say thank you to the wonderful volunteers who deliver their meals on wheels service.

They have shared a full list of ingredients and costings for everything in the afternoon tea, which is made from British products and eggs from their own free-range hens.

Vegetarian for Life

The team at Vegetarian for Life made the whole afternoon tea vegan so that everyone could enjoy it.

The volunteer in the photos cut the sponge into 8 portions, which was far too big – it should have been 12 – but the team had to take the picture as it was so funny!
