Callum King said: “Our Festive Afternoon Tea at The Grand is really popular this year.
“It’s that little bit of luxury where you can spoil yourself, or your loved ones, this Christmas.
“We’re hosting Festive Afternoon Tea seven days a week.
“Because everything we make is freshly made and baked, we ask that people give us at least 24 hours’ notice when they’re reserving their places.
“It’s a beautiful atmosphere sitting back in The Grand and enjoying Afternoon Tea. It’s made for it.
“On Friday afternoons, we have a pianist playing, which adds to the ambience.
“It is a unique experience, completely different to anything else anyone is doing in the region.
“We see people travelling in to enjoy Festive Afternoon Tea from all over the North West, it’s become really popular.”
The Grand has become the place to celebrate Christmas in Southport.
The historic venue, which underwent a £5 million renovation before opening its doors three years ago, celebrated its huge Christmas Lights Switch On earlier in November with three floors of festive entertainment and a spectacular fireworks display.
Over 3,000 people are now booked in for Christmas dinners, meals, party nights, afternoon teas and events.
Diners can choose between stylish Festive Set Menu and a Festive A La Carte menu.
