​What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon on Father’s Day weekend! The Bronte Historical Society is pleased to present our first public event for 2019: Strawberry Tea on the Bluffs. This is a bi-annual spring event (held since 1988). This year it will be held on Father’s Day weekend, June 16, 2019 starting at 11 am, at the historic Sovereign House, 7 West River Street, Bronte.

“Mary Murray’s Tea on the Bluffs” is a great opportunity to come to Sovereign House and enjoy our beautiful location. The canopy of trees and the gardens surrounding the Bronte Bluffs are a beautiful place to spend an afternoon. A traditional Devonshire Tea, featuring scones, strawberry jam and whipped cream, alongside other treats, coffee, tea and lemonade, will be served by the society’s wonderful volunteers.

Come visit and learn about Bronte’s fascinating history. The event is held in memory of Mary Murray. Mary was a dedicated member of our Executive team, until her untimely death some years ago. Many of our members remember her warmth and gracious spirit, and would have had regular contact with her as the Bronte Historical Society’s Social Convenor.

​The funds raised at this event are used for the maintenance of the house and hosting of events at Sovereign House. For information about this event or to purchase tickets please contact Sovereign House at 905 825-5552 or at brontehistoricalsociety.ca We look forward to seeing you at Tea on the Bluffs

From snapd, including pictures above. "The event took place at the Bluffs at Sovereign House off West River Street in Bronte Village. The all-ages event offered English tea, lemonade, and strawberry shortcake. A raffle and prize give-a-ways were also available. After tea, guests had the opportunity to tour the Sovereign House and enjoy a stroll along the Bluffs parkland. Money raised from the event will go towards the house upkeep. The gardens at Sovereign House are developed and maintained beautifully by the Bronte Horticultural Society."
