As Marie Antoinette once said “Let them eat cake!” Well actually, to be more accurate, what was said was "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche.” (Let them eat brioche) and reputedly it was Marie Therese the wife of Louis XIV who said it. There’s no disputing however that the French love a good tea party!

If you are looking for a really fantastic day out to tickle your French fanc(ies) head off down to Quorn, Leicestershire on 6 March for an amazing Marie Antoinette themed tea party.

Find yourself plunged into the Siècle des Lumière with riotous burlesque dance performances, corsets, wigs and themed decor. Pamper yourself with a manicure, pedicure or relaxing beauty treatment then shop til you drop at the unique arts and crafts stalls.

When its time for refreshment sip connoisseur teas including Earl Grey, Lady Grey, French tistane herbal and flower teas, from fine vintage tea cups and saucers. Delight the taste buds with chocolate fountains, genuine french patisseries from Paris, Cupcakes, Petit Fours and Macaroons! Let The Picture Box record the day with an exquisite photograph to treasure.

Dress up and enjoy the fun. Tickets are just £5 (excluding photograph with The Picture Box and pampering sessions). You can purchase tickets here.

Ooh La La takes place on Sunday 6 March 2011 2 - 6pm at Quorn Village Hall, Leicestershire.

Dormouse will be doing a follow up review of this event later in the year.
