Our historic, beautiful dining rooms never go out of fashion. Many people use them for engagements, birthdays and anniversary parties. Now we’ve added Baby Shower Tea Parties to the list.Perfect for a group of friends and relations, you can decorate the dining room with your own bunting, table decorations and balloons (if you provide the decorations, we are happy to put them out for you).

For example, we can provide fizz on arrival or can arrange bouquests of flowers to be delivered, or ask us about borrowing our wedding cake stand and knife (subject to availability). You might decide to try our suggested baby shower games below or arrange for a beauty therapist to visit and give relaxing foot massages or manicures. If you just want a table for afternoon tea, you can enquire or book a table on the website now.
Holdsworth House Top 5 Baby Shower Games
- Toss the nappy in the basket: Get a nice nursery laundry basket and a bunch of (unused!) rolled-up nappies. Standing around three metres from the basket, take it in turns to see how many nappy goals you can score in the basket. The winner with the most goals wins. The mum-to-be gets to take the laundry basket home.
- Mum-to-be quiz: Everyone loves a quiz. How many questions about your mum-to-be can everyone get right? Here are some questions to start you off: Mum’s eye colour? Weight of mum when she was born? Current waist measurement? Mum’s star sign?
- Nappy race: How fast can you put a nappy on a doll? One at a time, everyone races with the mum-to-be to see how fast they can put a nappy on a doll. Gives the mum-to-be any practice she may need!
- Best advice: What’s everyone’s best bit of advice for the new mum and dad? Ask everyone to write their advice down in a large card or notebook to give as a keepsake.
- Word search: Print copies of our Baby Shower Word Search (opens in PDF) and let everyone have a go while they’re enjoying their afternoon tea.
