Delicate sweets, fragrant teas, and fortunes waiting to be revealed. Join us at the Starrett House for a high tea unlike any other, where Victorian elegance meets the timeless intrigue of tarot cards.

High tea rose to prominence in the 19th century as an occasion for refinement, conversation, and indulgence—an afternoon ritual of finger sandwiches, pastries, and steaming cups of perfectly brewed tea. At the same time, Victorians were captivated by the unseen world. Spiritualism, séances, and the symbolism of tarot cards became popular parlor entertainments, weaving mystery into their daily lives.
This event brings those two traditions together under one historic roof. Enjoy an elegant tea service in the grandeur of The Starrett House, then step into the world of tarot—a practice that fascinated Victorians and continues to enchant seekers today. It is an afternoon of charm, indulgence, and discovery, where the past speaks gently to the present.
