Founded during the first Covid-19 lockdown in 2020, Afternoon Tea Box initially set out to give people a slice of normality (alongside a slice of cake) during the pandemic – but fast-forward five years, and they are still making occasions like Mother’s Day special.

This year the company want to make it even more special for some, by offering the chance to win a free Afternoon Tea box every month for a whole year.

It’s easy to see how the company – which delivers across Milton Keynes, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and beyond – took off during Covid.

They made it possible to send Afternoon Tea as a gift to a friend, colleague or loved one to enjoy from the comfort of your own home to theirs.
