WEL­COME TO TEA AT THE GEORGE

Here at Tea at The George, we invite you to join us and be served up a cup of his­to­ry as you dis­cov­er an unfor­get­table tea par­ty, inspired by Vic­to­ri­an ele­gance and eclec­tic design.

Tea at The George is set with­in the his­tor­i­cal 500-year-old George Hotel and not many places have sto­ries to tell such as ours. Tea at The George’s is just beginning!

Styl­ish and ele­gant, the Tea room is adorned with pan­el­ing, mir­rors, cher­ry blos­som, and lav­ish flow­ers, show­cas­ing Colchester’s his­toric charm and history.

Our Chefs have expert­ly hand­craft­ed quirky fan­cies, del­i­cate fin­ger sand­wich­es, home­made but­tery scones, and straw­ber­ry pre­serves to take you on a unique and per­son­al gas­tro­nom­i­cal experience.

We’ve kept this a secret for too long so don’t for­get to #spill­thetea

Enjoy 300 years of his­to­ry in this beau­ti­ful Geor­gian town­house through hands-on exhibits and dis­plays. Dis­cov­er what fam­i­ly life was life for the rich and the poor. Then be trans­port­ed back to the days before wash­ing machines to try out a dol­ly peg and dress up as a servant. 

Explore Hol­lytrees in minia­ture through the dolls’ house or dis­cov­er Bernard Mason’s fas­ci­nat­ing col­lec­tion of Colch­ester clocks. You can even learn all about the ori­gins of Twin­kle, Twin­kle, Lit­tle Star, loved the world over and writ­ten in Colchester.

First­ly, you say Schuh like ​‘shoe’. And, in a nut­shell, we’re obsessed with shoes! We’re a fan of a clas­sic but we’re also fick­le and love a trend – we change our shoes like most peo­ple change their socks. And whether you’re a ded­i­cat­ed Vans, Con­verse or Nike wear­er, a lover of 6 inch Schuh heels, all about Dr. Martens, into dis­cov­er­ing new brands or up for a bit of every­thing, we’re all over it. Plus, you’ll now find Schuh kids in every store: it’s Schuh for small­er feet. Same awe­some brands, just lit­tler. And, at Schuh kids, we get that com­fy feet are as impor­tant as good look­ing feet, so we’ll help fit your new shoes too.

Plus we offer:

•365 days to return unused shoes

•10% stu­dent dis­count year round

•Click and collect

•Free in-store order­ing so any­thing you see online, you can get in store.
