Afternoon Tea at Exeter College – back by popular demand!

You can choose from the following options:
- Cream tea (a freshly brewed pot of tea or coffee served with two fruit or plain scones, homemade jam and clotted cream), £10.00 per person
- Afternoon tea (a cream tea plus finger sandwiches, mini savouries and petit fours), £20.00 per person
- High tea (an afternoon tea plus a glass of Prosecco), £27.00 per person

Why not make a night of it! Exeter is also offering the chance to stay in one of their historic bedrooms in the heart of Oxford and enjoy breakfast in the Dining Hall. Stay in the room that Tolkien once called home, look out onto the quad where Inspector Morse famously collapsed, and take in the location that inspired the fictional Jordan College in Sir Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials.
