Located in the heart of the historic city, Tipsy Teapot Lincoln offers Afternoon Tea with a theatrical twist. Served on our spectacular Ferris Wheel stand inside our vintage circus-inspired venue, it’s a truly unique experience that’s become a favourite for visitors, shoppers, University of Lincoln students and families alike. Freshly baked, beautifully presented and prepared to order, it’s the perfect way to celebrate after exploring Lincoln’s historic streets, Cathedral Quarter or graduation ceremonies.

You’re very welcome to bring small table decorations for your celebration. We simply ask that nothing is taped or pinned to our walls or furniture. If you’re bringing your own birthday or celebration cake, just let us know when booking and we’ll happily provide the candles before gathering the team for an enthusiastic (and occasionally slightly off-key!) rendition of Happy Birthday

As every Afternoon Tea is freshly prepared specifically for your booking, we ask for full payment in advance to secure your reservation. If your plans change, we’re happy to amend your booking date or guest numbers up to 24 hours beforehand. Should someone be unable to attend at short notice, we’ll happily prepare their Afternoon Tea as a takeaway.
