2000s: Can a tea house weave its magic on those who enter its doors?
The Tea House on Mulberry Street
What you need to know before your trail
Penny Stanley’s seventeen year old marriage to Daniel is falling apart and so is their shabby tea house on Mulberry Street. But it’s regular customers love the cosy atmosphere and luscious desserts. Penniless artist Brenda Brown sits in the cafe signing letters to Nicolas Cage. Will they ever be answered? Sadie Smith finds refuge from her diet and her husband’s ultra-slim mistress in a slice of the cafe’s cherry cheesecake and Clare Fitzgerald returns to the tea house after twenty years in New York.
But the tea house needs more than a coat of paint and as Penny takes action she discovers it is a magical place with secrets of its own.

Belfast and the tea shops
Near the Lisburn Road which is where the fictional Mulberry street is located:
As Belfast wakes up:
“Lorry drivers were already driving along the Lisburn Road with their deliveries. At half past seven, the early commuters would appear.”
And there’s the tea shop in Mulberry Street
“It was a strange little place really, It was like a magical ship in a children’s book; ordinary-looking from the outside but magical within.”
It might be fictional but the real fun of this booktrails to find your very own Mulberrry Tea shop…
