Come and join us at the first in our new series of baby and toddler-friendly lectures designed to uncover more about the myths and reality present in our collections. Feed your inquisitive minds while feeling comfortable bringing tiny tots.

At this first lecture, tea sommelier Valerie Diederichs will present her latest tea journey based on objects found at the Ashmolean.

Learn about the myths and reality of tea production and tea drinking throughout history and discover how this history is reflected in the Ashmolean’s collections.
