A Holly Dolly Festive Tea – Rhinestones Optional

We all love a Dollyism, but would you live your life by them? Well, there’s only one way to find out and that’s by joining us on Monday 24th November 2025 for a festive late afternoon tea at the award winning Stock Exchange Hotel with ‘What would Dolly do’ author, Suzan Holder and Cheshire Life editor, Joanne Goodwin.

“It’s hard to be a diamond in a rhinestone world…” but Author, Journalist and TV producer, Suzan will be  encouraging us to bring out our inner Dolly whilst in conversation with Joanne .

We can’t guarantee it will change your life, or make you a country and western star, but what we can guarantee is it will be a late afternoon of great fun, with food provided by the Tender restaurant’s brigade led by Michelin-starred chef Niall Keating.

Tickets for the Festive Afternoon Tea with arrival fizz are £55 + VAT and can be booked here, along with your menu choices. Full details here

And that’s not all, Suzan can also solve your Christmas present dilemmas! Copies of her books, personalised and signed, will be available to buy on the evening (cash only).

Time – 16.00 to 19.00
