WHAT TO EXPECT

On the evening of October 24, Strathmore’s Mansion becomes the stage for Hauntings: Midnight Tea, a hauntingly reimagined twist on the traditional afternoon tea. For $60 per person, guests are invited to don their gothic best and immerse themselves in a night of spectral indulgence: sip on carefully curated herbal brews, sample eerie nighttime treats, and wander through spooky late-night tours of the Hauntings exhibition. The evening also includes palm readings, a daring book swap, and a moody, atmospheric blend of art, mystique, and social ritual. With limited parking on the Mansion grounds and additional space available at the nearby metro garage, guests can arrive via the Grosvenor-Strathmore Metro stop and enjoy this ghostly gathering in the heart of Strathmore’s storied setting.
