Halloween plans can include a teapot and a little time around the table: Southern Seasons is hosting a Halloween Tea Party on Saturday, October 31, from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m.

The gathering at 118 Broad Street promises tea and treats, with costumes welcome if you feel like dressing up.

Reservations are required, so book your place before heading downtown.

Jane Austen Tea Party — November 21, 2026, 2:30–4:30 p.m.

Dress in your finest attire for four premium teas alongside three-tiered trays of sandwiches, scones and sweets.

Santa Claus Is Coming to Tea — December 5, 2026, 2:30–4:30 p.m.

Santa joins guests in the tea room for premium teas and treats, with the gathering recommended for children ages 5 and older.

Hannerjoy Photography will offer Santa pictures for tea-party guests; call 706-528-4546 to book a photo-package time during the event.

Sweet Tea and Tinsel — December 21, 2026, 5:30–7:30 p.m.

Start Christmas week with a special late Afternoon Tea, featuring teas and treats in the candlelit, festively decorated tea room.

Confirm tea pricing, photo-package costs and availability before booking.

It’s a timely reason to get acquainted with a Rome spot that offers several ways to enjoy tea, whether you want a full afternoon occasion or something more casual.

The tea room serves Cream Tea and Weekday Tea Monday through Friday, with full Afternoon Teas and themed teas generally offered Saturdays at 2:30 p.m., unless otherwise noted.

Those reserved services are separate from the tea house, where no reservation is needed for tea, sandwiches and sweets.

Food service there runs from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Saturday.

That distinction makes planning easier: reserve for the tea-room experience, or stop into the tea house for a casual bite or something to go.

The shop also carries loose-leaf teas, including black, green and oolong varieties, along with caffeine-free herbal infusions.

For anyone who finds a favorite, there’s an online tea emporium for stocking the cupboard at home.

Southern Seasons can also accommodate private events.

For these themed gatherings, call 706-528-4546 or use the reservation service to confirm pricing, availability and menu details before booking.
