What better way to treat yourself than with a visit to one of Nottinghamshire’s unique heritage sites followed by tea, sandwiches, scones and cakes? The D.H. Lawrence Birthplace Museum has teamed up with Eastwood’s Darlings Café Bar and you can now book your visit and refreshments with a simple click through the museum’s website.
First visit the Birthplace Museum; a property with a traditional wash house, gas lighting, period furniture and items that belonged to D.H. Lawrence and his family and immerse yourself in Nottingham’s Victorian past. Then take a short walk around the corner, where your traditional British Afternoon or Cream Tea will be waiting for you. Consisting of a selection of homemade scones and cakes as well as sandwiches made with locally sourced fillings, you can’t go wrong with this amazing combination of an afternoon out with refreshments.
If you are feeling adventurous and don’t need to drive, grab a glass or bottle of Prosecco or even push the boat out further with a Gin tea pot.
