The Golden Hour is an informal term used mainly by photographers. It doesn't really have an official definition the same as dawn, dusk, and twilight, it just refers to a state of natural light that mainly takes place around sunrise and sunset.

Here at Visit Cornwall, we are led to believe that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth likes nothing better than to relax in the afternoon with a nice cream tea. I’m sure she has a much more dainty version than most of us enjoy, but as far as we know she does prefer her ‘jam first’.

This coming bank holiday, there’s no reason why everybody shouldn’t enjoy an afternoon tea, be it at home, at a street party or in one of the many hotels and café’s that are laying on special menus for the event.
