Everything Stops for Tea, presented by overseas speaker Anne Anderson, will be hosted by Arts National Noosa on Saturday 25 May.
The lecture, subtitled A Social History of Tea Drinking in the West, will be held at St Mary’s Church, 17 William Street, Tewantin, 3.45pm for a 4pm start.
According to Arts National, “It was during the 18th century that the rituals of tea drinking were established. The painter William Hogarth, famous for recording middle class life, shows us exactly how tea was drunk at the time. In the 19th century at the seaside resorts one enjoyed the tea dance, while on the great trans-Atlantic passenger liners, everything and everyone stopped for tea at 4pm.”

Visitor fees $30 including wine and canapes after the lecture.
