Fes-Tea-Val, Chiswick House

England doesn't have a national Independence Day, as most Independence Days are a celebration of sovereignty from England. But the UK does have National Tea Day, which falls on 21 April. By pure coincidence, this is also the Queen's birthday.

There's only one way to celebrate this quintessentially British day: with a festival. A Fes-Tea-Val, if you will. Book your tickets to celebrate the beloved beverage in the lush gardens of Chiswick House. The grounds are set to explode in a brew-tea-ful frenzy of treats and tea leaves, complete with everything from bazaars to mixology masterclasses.



The family friendly event is set to keep everyone entertained all weekend long with music, picnics, and bout-tea-que pop-ups. Learn how to throw a historically correct tea party with the Chitra Collection, a temporary exhibition at The Museum of Historic Tea Ware. Explore the Vitali-Tea Garden for organic produce, yoga classes, and tours of the tea conservatory. Try tea party hopping through Tea 'n' Treat village before scaling Sugar Mountain (the only mountaineering expedition we're interested in) to indulge your tastebuds.

Step aside, Glastonbury. There's a new British festival sensation steeping the nation.
