Midsummer Night's Tea

Step into an enchanted evening at the Huntsville Botanical Garden's Carriage House, where Shakespeare's whimsical forest comes to life through tea, treats, and fairy-tale ambiance. This midsummer celebration pairs the magic of A Midsummer Night's Dream with an elegant afternoon tea service featuring four hand-blended teas from local favorite Piper & Leaf, each carefully chosen to capture the romance and mischief of the play. Alongside your tea flight, you'll enjoy classic finger sandwiches from Fern & Feast Bistro and colorful macarons from Little Macs, all while live music floats through the air and a stunning floral installation sets the scene for photos with friends. The tea begins at 6 p.m. on July 12, 2026, starting at Garden closing time and continuing into the evening hours. Tickets are $45 for Garden members and $55 for non-members, with full-day Garden admission included—so plan to arrive early and explore the blooms before tea service begins. Guests 21 and older can purchase additional beverages from the cash bar. Whether you choose elegant garden party attire or embrace your inner woodland sprite with fantastical fairy fashion, all ages are welcome to join this whimsical gathering where nature, literature, and local artisan flavors meet under the summer sky.
