The popular local expat website Brits In LA is hosting a “Lovely Jubbly Jubilee Tea Party” in celebration of Queen Elizabeth II’ Diamond Jubilee on Saturday, June 2nd from 1pm-5pm at the Palihouse in West Hollywood.
Attendees are encouraged to ‘wave a flag’ and turn the Palihouse into ‘Buckingham Palihouse’ as the courtyard becomes the setting for a 1950s style street tea party.
British West End star and host of Oprah Winfrey’s new show Real Life Tom Lowe will host the event, which is billed as a British-style knees up singalong, with such classics as My Old Man, Daisy, Daisy and Roll out the Barrel. Famed opera singer Gus Farwell will lead partygoers into the National Anthem.
A selection of teas will be served and a variety of sandwiches including cucumber and cream cheese, coronation chicken, egg and mayonnaise, smoke salmon and watercress, as well as scones with clotted cream and strawberry jame. Silliness is encouraged, 1950s attire very welcome.
Tickets are priced at $55 (including tax, service and booking fee), plus a complimentary commemorative mug. Children under 12 are free (limit: 2 children per family). British Weekly favorite Annie Shaw will be in attendance for tarot reading.
