WALLACE & GROMIT’S ‘GREAT BRITISH TEA PARTY’ TAKES OFF WITH BAKE OFF!
Nov 30th
Legendary cookery writer and baker, Mary Berry, baked up a treat this week when she was joined by Aardman’s popular characters Wallace & Gromit for a cup of tea and slice of cake.
The ‘Great British Bake Off’ television series judge welcomed the famous duo into her home for a celebratory tea party to launch annual fundraiser ‘Wallace & Gromit’s Great British Tea Party’, which takes place from 1 – 10 December.
In support of the award-winning fundraiser, Mary Berry is encouraging people to get baking for charity and host their own Great British Tea Party: “This is a wonderful way for family, friends and work colleagues to get together for a traditional teatime celebration that raises money for a really important cause. It’s so easy to join in the fun, simply bake your favourite cakes, put the kettle on and enjoy. You could even rise to the occasion and organise your own Bake Off!” she said.
Nick Park, creator of Wallace & Gromit and trustee of the Children’s Foundation, added: “A quintessentially British tea party is just my cup of tea and a great way to help sick and terminally ill children in the UK.”
Organised by national charity, Wallace & Gromit’s Children’s Foundation, this year’s Great British Tea Party aims to raise over £150,000 for sick children in hospitals and hospices across the UK.
The fundraising event is kindly supported by Yorkshire Tea. Kevin Sinfield, Brand Manager at Yorkshire Tea, said: “Wallace & Gromit’s Children’s Foundation do fantastic work to help raise funds for children in hospitals and hospices across the UK. The Great British Tea Party is at the heart of the fundraising activity and we are proud to sponsor the event for a fourth consecutive year. We have lots of exciting plans for this year so we encourage everyone to register and join in the fun!”
In the UK we get through a staggering 16.5 million cups of tea a day, an average of three cups each.
Since 2003 over 400,000 people have taken part in the Great British Tea party, helping children in over 25 children’s hospitals and hospices across the UK.

Tea Appreciation Society in the Foodie Bugle Magazine
Nov 17th
Co-founder and Director of the Tea Appreciation Society Shayne House appears in the Foodie Bugle magazine.
Rachel Wilson Couch writes in the Foodie Bugle article: The philosophy is simple and ancient. We all do it. In a moment of crisis, indecision, togetherness, tea is a distraction, a comfort and a prop. For Shayne, there is “a correlation between drinking tea and being creative.” Have you got work to do? Make yourself a nice cup of tea. This is a statement that is testament indeed to his own prolific, creative output, ranging from film making to photography, writing to surfing, illustrating to music. But he goes still deeper into the leaves and into spirituality. “It’s all about taking time out. Years ago, while I was reading the Tao Te Ching (the Chinese text on the philosophy of Taoism), I realised that the tea in my hand was more than just quenching my thirst. Tea drinking is actually one of humanity’s most noble practices. It transcends borders and nationalities.”
You can read Rachel’s full article in the Foodie Bugle here.
