A historic city venue has announced two new seasonal afternoon teas. 

Mark Mitson, head of pastry at The Assembly House in Theatre Street, has put together two new menus ahead of the autumn and winter months.  

The first is the Autumn Hedgerow Afternoon Tea which will be available from September 18 until October 15.

The themed menu was a big success last year but has been updated to include a shot glass dessert, a ballerina cake, and a new macaron. 

Served from November 1 until January 8, bookings can be made for either the restaurant or for one of The Assembly House's igloos. 

Both afternoon teas cost £29.50 per person or £18 for under-12s in the restaurant. 

The Nutcracker Afternoon Tea can be booked inside the igloos for £45 per person, or £28 per child.
