After the success of last year’s debut, Bedern Hall is set to host the city’s second annual ‘SconeFest’ from tomorrow (Wed) until Friday.

The event York’s iconic 14th-century dining hall, runs from 11am to 3pm each day, promising a new mystery flavour every day, plus the chance to win an afternoon tea for two at the hall if your guess is correct.

In addition to these delicious new scone flavours, the menu will include traditional flavours such as cheese, fruit, and lavender.
 
Roger Lee, Director at Bedern Hall, said: "Our goal is to keep Bedern Hall vibrant and relevant, showcasing its medieval charm while creating new traditions like ‘SconeFest.’ With Bernadette baking for us, we want for everyone to sample her delicious scones.”

Bernadette Thompson's scones have a dedicated following, particularly her Christmas Pudding scone, which went viral after being praised by Sarah Merker, a food enthusiast on a mission to sample every scone at National Trust properties.

Now something of a  tradition, the Christmas Pudding scones are served at Bedern Hall during the festive season.
 
Morgan Lee, organiser and Engagement Officer at Bedern Hall, said: “We are thrilled to bring ‘SconeFest’ back for a second year. It’s a must-visit for scone lovers, and we’re excited to share Bedern Hall’s rich 700-year history with our guests.”
