Chat over cake

As the weather warms up why not host your own afternoon tea party? It could be a family gathering, a few friends or a neighbourly affair, including those you don’t know that well but feel they might welcome a cup of tea with a friendly face.

All you need to do is stock up on your favourite tea and then put together a few sandwiches and cakes. Shop for Lancashire Tea here.

Here’s some inspiration on how to make a tea party extra special from our friends at BBC Good Feed. Don’t forget to tag us in your pics @lancashiretea_official.
