Bettys is to start reopening its branches from the end of the month.
The famous Harrogate-based company will re-open its tea house in RHS Harlow Carr for takeaway food and drinks from March 29.
Bettys shops will then open to visitors on April 12, which is the earliest that non-essential shops can re-open under the government’s road map.
All Bettys cafes will then re-open on May 17, except for the Stonegate branch in York, which the company has said is too small for social distancing.
As part of the reopening, Bettys is now accepting bookings for afternoon tea in the Imperial Room in Harrogate and the Belmont Room in York from May 17.

However, Bettys has warned the dates may change subject to the government’s lockdown rules and road map.
Bettys closed its branches completely in January.
Simon Eyles, Bettys managing director, said at the time:
“Given the severity of the coronavirus pandemic that we are currently witnessing, Bettys has decided to close its Yorkshire branches completely. This means our café tea rooms and now our shops too will be shut until further notice.”
