Enjoy a classic afternoon tea with unlimited tea and coffee during this 2-hour cruise along the Leeds and Liverpool Canal!

Afternoon Tea Experience Days: Afternoon tea is a traditional British pastime that will never go out of style; tea, cake, miniature sandwiches - what's not to love! Take it up a notch with this Afternoon Tea Cruise in Skipton, chugging down the Leeds and Liverpool Canal whilst you nibble on sweet and savoury delights.

Departing at 2:45pm near Belmont Bridge, crew will show you to your seats and get you settled before the boat sets off down the canal, sailing past scenic countryside and farmland. The traditional afternoon tea includes a variety of sandwiches (think cucumber cream cheese, ham and mustard, coronation chicken  - the classics!)*, a selection of desserts which may include sponge cakes, cheesecake, chocolate cake, fresh fruit, and of course a fluffy fruit scone with jam and clotted cream. You may want to opt for a savoury option which swaps desserts with a sausage roll and an award winning pork pork pie from Stanforth Butchers. Throughout the journey you'll receive unlimited tea and coffee, so you can sit back and relax with a hot cuppa as you watch the world go by.

The Afternoon Tea Cruise in Skipton is a unique experience perfect to be shared with friends and family, or given as a fun gift idea to a fellow Yorkshire foodie!

*Sandwich fillings are subject to change.

When the cruise was over, my wife said, 'That was a perfect afternoon. ' and I totally agree. It was mid September and the weather was pleasant, so that always helps. There was a nice buzz from the other passengers while we waited a few minutes in the queue and that buzz continued when we were all on board. All of the crew were cheerful and welcoming. Having to go through two swing bridges meant a couple of the crew had to 'jump ship' and run ahead on the towpath, but you could tell they were in good spirits all the time. The food was delicious and was served swiftly. The staff were chatty and cheerful for the entire two hours of the cruise. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Would we recommend this experience? Without a doubt.

Disappointed and not what we hoped for. The food was just acceptable. We were hoping for some good scenery but we didn't see any. There was a blockage so had to take a different route. The boat was very clean. The staff were friendly enough...

We really enjoyed our afternoon on the canal at Skipton. The afternoon tea was excellent and the canal trip was very pleasant. We even saw some cygnets following their mother down to the water. What could be better?
