Uplands Cultural And Heritage Center — Attraction in Sherbrooke

I recently visited the Uplands Cultural and Heritage Center in Sherbrooke and was impressed by the atmosphere and the events offered. One of the most memorable features of my visit was the English tea party held at the center.The tea party at Uplands is not just a treat but an event that immerses you in the spirit of old English traditions. The setting was cozy and elegant, reminiscent of classic Victorian homes. Guests were offered a wide selection of fragrant teas, and a variety of desserts.The staff were very friendly and attentive, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The staff checks in to make sure everything is okay and know fun facts about the place, but engage a bit more in conversation with older...

I went for afternoon tea. Before the service we visited the historical house, and the forest garden. The site is enchanting. There are photos with information about the tradition of tea throughout the forest. The house hosts an art gallery and beautiful period furnitures. Staff was available to answer questions and they were very knowledgeable. The tea service was very special: the setting on the porch, the delicious food, staff presentation. The only negative was that the tea was not very hot despite the tea cozy. Reservation is a must for the...
