AFTERNOON TEA AT HOME

Treat yourself and friends or family to afternoon tea at home with this glamorous tea set that’s made to treasure

Going out for afternoon tea has to be one of the most indulgent – and delicious – ways to treat yourself. Enjoy the experience any time you like with this beautiful new tea set, unique to M&S. Inspired by vintage finds the in-house design team have spotted on their travels, it includes pretty plates, cups and saucers, a two-tier cake stand and a matching teapot. The graceful Art Nouveau pattern in blush pink and dusted mint is offset with metallic accents that add a hint of glamour. To host your own luxury tea party at home with minimum effort, simply serve stacks of dainty sandwiches and scrumptious cakes with a bottle of fizz. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday or anniversary – or just enjoying a get-together with good friends – it’s guaranteed to feel like a truly special occasion.
