Afternoon Tea i Hedvig

Welcome to Afternoon Tea at Hedvig Eleonora församlingssal in autumn 2026! For the past ten years, Hedvig Eleonora parish has been hosting cosy Afternoon Tea gatherings in the beautiful parish hall at Jungfrugatan 2 in Östermalm.

The parish’s Afternoon Tea every other Friday, together with the weekly singalong that follows in the church, has become a very popular way for many people to start the weekend. Come along, meet others and enjoy yourself!

The Afternoon Tea tradition began in Victorian Britain in the early 1840s. Anna Russell, Duchess of Bedford, is said to have secretly ordered a pot of tea and something to eat to be brought to her room in the afternoon, at a time when people ate only breakfast and dinner. When Anna began inviting her female friends, including Queen Victoria, the tradition spread and tea parties became popular. Scones appeared in the 20th century. Hedvig Eleonora parish has been serving Afternoon Tea since 2014.
