The Tiger Who Came to Tea at Claremont

Who's that having tea at Claremont this spring?

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Explore this very special teatime through extracts and illustrations from Judith Kerr’s classic story, 'The Tiger Who Came to Tea', on a children's trail around the gardens, produced in partnership with HarperCollins Publishers.

The doorbell rings just as Sophie and her mummy are sitting down to tea. Who could it possibly be? What they certainly don't expect to see at the door is a big, furry, stripy tiger!

Join Sophie and her mummy as they feed a very hungry tiger in the gardens at Claremont.
