Grantley Hall has launched an exclusive afternoon tea experience in collaboration with British fine jeweller Boodles, celebrating the 25th anniversary of its iconic Raindance collection.

The Raindance design takes its inspiration from the scattered droplets of a quintessentially British rain shower, capturing the playfulness and charm of those quiet moments outdoors. It celebrates the beauty of nature and the individuality that Boodles is known for, creating an iconic design in a way that is both rare and remarkable. A true reflection of the brand's heritage, it is a nod to where Boodles has come from and the joy of finding inspiration in the everyday, resulting in a platinum-set collection that is reminiscent of sprinkled raindrops glistening in the sun.

From 10th to 19th February 2025, guests to Grantley Hall are invited to indulge in a specially curated afternoon tea that will reflect the beauty of the Raindance Collection within the elegant surroundings of The Drawing Room.  Executive Pastry Chef Stefan Rose has created an exquisite menu of bespoke cakes, pastries and savoury treats inspired by Boodles' heritage and timeless designs, accompanied by speciality teas or an optional glass of Champagne.

Menu highlights include a selection of delicious finger sandwiches filled with oak smoked salmon, baked Yorkshire ham, and truffled cucumber; Valentine's inspired pastries including 'A love letter from Boodles' with madeleine sponge, lemon mascarpone cream and white chocolate; a rhubarb and custard layer cake; a selection of plain, raisin and earl grey scones with Yorkshire jams and Devon clotted cream; and a choice of warming teas.

Each guest will receive a beautifully crafted takeaway gift as a lasting memory of the experience. Additionally, everyone who experiences the exclusive afternoon tea will receive an invite to a private appointment at the Boodles showroom in Leeds, where a complimentary jewellery cleaning service (including non-Boodles specific pieces) and glass of Champagne will be offered.  

Prices for this luxurious experience are as follows:

• Boodles Signature Afternoon Tea: £65 per person
• Boodles Champagne Afternoon Tea: from £85 per person
• Boodles Non-Alcoholic Champagne Afternoon Tea: £75 per person

For an elevated celebration, Grantley Hall is also offering an exclusive Boodles Afternoon Tea & Overnight Stay Experience that includes:

• Boodles Signature Afternoon Tea in the Drawing Room
• Chauffeur-driven visit to the Boodles Boutique in Leeds for a private jewellery appointment

 About Boodles

Since 1798, Boodles has represented the epitome of fine British jewellery. Still a privately-owned family business, Boodles stands for the very best in creative design; the highest quality diamonds and gemstones; and the fusion of traditional craft skills with innovation.

Every piece of Boodles jewellery is designed and handcrafted in Britain. There is an emphasis at Boodles on provenance: taking pride in being able to trace its diamonds all the way back to source, and on using gold of a Single Mine Origin. At once classic and contemporary – and always distinctive – Boodles is perhaps best known for Raindance; the iconic ring which was recognised by the V&A Museum and entered into its permanent collection.

In 2023 – the year of its 225th anniversary – Boodles was named by the UK's luxury sector body, Walpole, as Best British Luxury Brand of the Year.
