Now that school's out, parents are searching for ways to keep their children occupied during the long, hot summer break. If your kids have always fantasized about being royalty for a day, why not take them for a traditional afternoon tea at The Chesterfield Palm Beach?

English-style tea is still a time-honored tradition at The Chesterfield, where children can enjoy their own Little Prince and Princess Tea in the cool finery of the classically wood-paneled library. They'll spend the afternoon in regal splendor (perhaps pretending to be Prince Harry or Meghan Markle) while enjoying peanut butter and jam or traditional tea sandwiches, beautiful cupcakes, ice cream fit for a monarch, hot chocolate and soft drinks. Crowns and tiaras are included!

Parents can enjoy a grown-up tea alongside their kids, choosing from a superb selection of loose-leaf teas and refreshing infusions served with an irresistible array of delicious, freshly made finger sandwiches, indulgent pastries, and delectable, hand-baked traditional British scones heaped with lashings of clotted cream and lavish strawberry preserves.

In addition to Traditional Afternoon Tea, adults can choose from among the following special teas:

• The Chesterfield Champagne Tea: Take the traditional tea, scones and sandwiches, and add some bubbly. What could be more indulgent?

• The Scones Afternoon Tea: For guests who are looking for just the essentials, this hits the spot. It includes tea plus oven-fresh scones heaped with lashings of clotted cream and lavish strawberry preserves.

• The Victorian Tea Experience: A costumed guide hosts this educational tea experience, which lets groups discover the complex and rich cultural history of traditional English tea, the art of tea leaf reading, and proper tea etiquette.

Guests may choose to take their tea in the homey setting of the library, the extravagant Leopard Lounge Bar, or in the open air of the sun-dappled courtyard for an English summertime experience.
