Tailored Events

Due to health concerns and in keeping with requests to limit human contact – this event has been cancelled.  Join us as we celebrate National Poetry Month. Reclaim your love of words, word-images, rhythms and rhymes. Poetry is meant to be read aloud, so bring a favorite to share whether it’s a classic, a little-known gem, or something you’ve written. Come join us for an informal afternoon of Tea and Poetry. Poetry by you; treats provided by Stuart Avenue Inn – after all tea is poetry poured. Cost is $18 person (no cost for poems). Call to reserve your seat.

Due to health concerns and requests to limit personal contact, this event has been cancelled for 2020.  We hope to see you in 2021.  This event is for those who cannot be with their mothers/mother figures for Mother’s Day. Join us as we remember and commemorate these important women, sharing and breathing in their love and lessons, while leaning fully into the lives they gave us. Attendees are encouraged to bring a photo of their mom as a way of including her at the table. All – of course, accompanied by assorted teas, and sweet and savory treats. Cost is $25/person; $40 for two.

Poetry is something we all seem to love as children. The rhythms and rhymes. The images, and word play. But, by the time we’re adults, the dissecting and analyzing has worn us down. Before that happens, consider joining your child at the Stuart Avenue Inn for poetry and enchantment. Bring a favorite poem (or poems) to read aloud, or come to hear something new. Child-friendly treats provided. Cost is $30 for two, $40 for three. Call to reserve your seat.

This tea is designed to carve out space and time to appreciate the joy and peace of the season. Step into a quietly festive space. Pause to enjoy a cup of tea. Sample seasonal desserts. Work on a jigsaw puzzle. Write a holiday note to a friend. Let the softer sounds of the season, conversation with a friend, or moment of solitude restore a sense of balance and wonder. Cost is $18/person. Call to reserve your seat.
