Win afternoon tea for two and tickets to the The World of Tim Burton

Enter for your chance to step into a whimsical wonderland at the Design Museum! Win two tickets to The World of Tim Burton exhibition, along with a delicious Tim Burton-inspired afternoon tea in the Design Kitchen, with lovely views overlooking the greenery of Holland Park.

Tim Burton is the creative force behind some of the most celebrated films of the last four decades, internationally recognised as a master of the comically grotesque and the endearingly misfit.

Enter for a chance to delve into his fantastical world in this major exhibition exploring his remarkable creations and key collaborations with designers. Drawn from Tim Burton’s personal archive and representing the artist’s creative output from childhood to the present day, this collection of drawings, paintings, photographs, sketchbooks, moving-image works, sculptural installations, set and costume design focuses on the recurrent visual themes and motifs found in the distinctive characters and worlds found in Burton’s art and films. This is the final stop in a decade-long world tour for this exhibition and will be its only ever showing in the UK.

The lucky winner will also win afternoon tea for two, inspired by the exhibition. Designed by the acclaimed chef Steve Groves, this enchanting menu combines quirky creativity with a commitment to sustainability – every ingredient is thoughtfully sourced for an experience that is as kind to the planet as it is to your taste buds. Indulge in fantastical sweet creations, perfectly baked scones, and your choice of classic or vegetarian savoury dishes. Each element offers a playful nod to Tim Burton’s iconic worlds.

The afternoon tea includes one cake & sandwich stand and drinks for two (the winner can opt for two glasses of sparkling wine or standard hot drinks. A vegetarian option is also available if specified when booking.)

For your chance to win, simply enter below. The lucky winner will be notified by email shortly after the competition's end date, 10th February 2025, using the e-mail address supplied.
