A little tea, a little flower magic, and a caravan called Polly
The Little Tea Co was established in 2012 with Polly, our vintage cream tea caravan. She is the little character behind the business, and wherever she goes, traditional British cream teas tend to follow.
Behind Polly is our founder, a floral creator, which is why flowers and beautiful presentation find their way into everything we do.
The Little Tea Co is about creating memorable little experiences around tea, flowers, celebrations and beautiful details.
Where you might have seen us
Since 2012 Polly has been out and about at festivals, made TV appearances, joined corporate photo shoots and hosted the green room for local radio stations, alongside weddings, celebrations and corporate events.
A Little Christmas
A Little Christmas is the seasonal Christmas chapter of The Little Tea Co: a little Christmas shop filled with beautiful things to make, give and bring home.
From 16 November to 23 December 2026 you'll find us at 4 Townley Road, Longridge, Preston, PR3 3AD, open 10am to 4.30pm on open days, with Welcome Door Ring workshops, handmade Welcome Door Rings, our Signature Little Christmas Bouquets, gift wrapping, hampers and beautiful little gifts. There's no tea room in the shop this time; it's all about making, wrapping and giving.
Make • Create • Wrap • Give
Where's Polly?
Polly isn't parked outside the shop, but she is making one special Christmas appearance: you'll find her at the Christmas market on Thursday 26 November 2026.
Hire Polly
Polly is available to hire all year round for an afternoon tea experience at corporate events, weddings and special occasions. We have a range of packages, so get in touch to talk about pricing, dates and what's included.
