This season at Powerscourt Hotel, Afternoon Tea takes a darker, more enchanting turn. 

Introducing the Midnight Garden Afternoon Tea - inspired by the garden after dusk, where colours deepen, shadows stretch, and flavours reveal a mysterious new side.

Our inspiration also comes from closer to home. Wednesday Series 2, directed by Tim Burton, was filmed here on Powerscourt Estate, with the sweeping gardens and the iconic waterfall providing a dramatic backdrop. The arrival of such a globally celebrated story to our doorstep brought incredible excitement, and we are proud to weave its gothic elegance into this seasonal Afternoon Tea.

Guests are welcomed with a touch of theatre before enjoying a tiered selection of savouries and sweets, each crafted to capture the intrigue of the Midnight Garden. From decadent sandwiches to our signature desserts - Twilight Bloom, Widow’s Rose, Poisoned Orchard, and Nevermore Noir - every element combines the beauty of autumn’s flavours with the allure of the darkly whimsical.

Step into the shadows, linger in the mystery, and savour Afternoon Tea as you have never experienced it before.
