Tea & Tales

09/07/2026

Every historic house has a name. This one has a story.

Before it became The Haviland, this remarkable house was known as Farringford.

Its name was inspired by the home of Esther Lowden’s favourite poet, Alfred, Lord Tennyson but that is only the beginning of its story…

This autumn, step inside its historic rooms and discover the remarkable woman who once called Farringford home. Join us at Tea & Tales for warm tea, seasonal flavours and captivating storytelling in one of Charlottetown’s most beautiful heritage houses.

Reserve your place and become part of the story.

Such a beautiful Golden September Tea today. 🌻

Thunder rolled outside, while inside, three generations of Islanders gathered around the table for warm tea and stories. When the grandmother told us it was the loveliest day she had enjoyed in a long time, we couldn’t have been happier. Moments like this are exactly why we created Tea & Tales.

Only 11 Tea & Tales days remain.
We would love to welcome you. 💛

We’re setting the table for September, with sunflowers and our favourite china.

Join us at The Haviland for Victorian tea, warm scones, savoury sandwiches and sweet treats. Hear the story of Esther Lowden, a woman ahead of her time, and take a tour of the house she once called home.

We’d be delighted to have you with us.

Almost every word for tea comes from just two ancient sounds.

But do you know why?

The answer crossed oceans, followed ancient roads and travelled thousands of years to reach your cup.

At Tea & Tales, history comes to the table through the story of a woman far ahead of her time and the quiet elegance of afternoon tea in a bygone era.

Discover the story behind the cup.

Only a limited number of sessions remain this season.
