Children’s Halloween Afternoon Tea

Scream tea anyone?

This October half term, celebrate the spooky season with our Children’s Halloween Afternoon Tea at The Esplanade Hotel in Newquay, Cornwall.

From 17th October to 1st November, our Children’s Halloween Afternoon Tea offers a spread of delicious delights to little ghouls and goblins - all served with a side of sea views.

There are no tricks, just treats on this spook-tacularly good menu. Mini monsters can sink their fangs into ghost marshmallows, spider cookies, and spooky cupcakes, alongside classic scones with apple jam and a trio of tasty sandwiches (ham, cheese, and chicken). It’s the perfect pit stop after a morning of beach walks, pumpkin picking, or costume crafting.

Priced at just £12.50 per child, our Children’s Halloween Afternoon Tea is served in the relaxed setting of our ocean-facing Cove Restaurant. The adjoining indoor soft play area gives kids the chance to let loose while grown-ups enjoy coffee overlooking Fistral Beach.

Enjoy a frightfully fun feast at The Esplanade.

Book the Children’s Halloween Afternoon Tea here.

Looking to get away for half term? Join us at The Esplanade for October half term breaks complete with a schedule of free activities, a Halloween party on the 30th October, and plenty of autumn magic.
