Mother’s Day is almost upon us and to celebrate the occasion, {{Lord’s is offering two one-of-a-kind gift experiences that are guaranteed to make every mother smile}}.
For the foodie mothers that love sophistication and delectable treats, a traditional afternoon tea package from Lord’s is the perfect gift. With afternoon tea available on certain selected dates, priced at £48, guests can enjoy a traditional cream tea with all the trimmings, including freshly baked scones with homemade jam and Cornish clotted cream, and a selection of finger sandwiches and dainties from the Lord’s resident Pâtissier. For an extra essence of celebration, packages can be upgraded to Champagne afternoon tea which includes a glass of fine Champagne for £59. This can all be enjoyed while seated in the iconic Long Room at Lord’s where guests can take in the commanding views of the Ground’s outfield.

About Lord’s Cricket Ground
The current Lord’s Cricket Ground is its third incarnation. The first ever match played at ‘Lord’s Cricket Ground’ came in 1787 when businessman Thomas Lord staged a game between Middlesex and Essex at a newly built ground in what was then known as Dorset Fields.
By 1811, MCC had moved to a new Ground in the Eyre Estate of St John’s Wood. This ground proved unpopular but when plans emerged for the Regent’s Canal to be built straight through it, Thomas Lord gratefully accepted compensation and moved the Ground to its current location in 1814.
