As the curtain falls on Downton, let us gather in style! The time has come for what every Downton Abbey fan has been waiting for – Downtown Abbey: The Grand Finale opens September 12. Cheekwood cordially invites you to a splendid celebration fit for the Crawleys themselves! Experience refinement and revelry at a specially themed tea on September 11. The elegant tableside services will feature Downtown Abbey-inspired tea flavors, champagne to toast the occasion, scones, clotted cream, and confections that would make Mrs. Patmore proud.

Transport to the 1920s & ’30s as jazz music sets the mood. Even the table settings will be decked in regal linens that will satisfy your wanderlust for the Yorkshire countryside. In partnership with Focus Features, we’ll have Downton Abbey-themed giveaways.
