in celebration of over 200 years of historic ties
between Pittsburgh and Great Britain.
Whether you are a Beatles and Stones fan,
or your taste is more choral or brass band,
there will be great British music throughout
the week. The Pittsburgh Tea Association
will be observing the fine art of English tea
at numerous tearooms, for those longing for
some real scones with Devonshire cream.
Restaurants and bars will also be featuring
British brews and English dishes. The British
Film Festival will feature critically acclaimed
works and celebrated stars of the big screen
from across the pond.
Britsburgh’s partners, including the
Carnegie Museum of Art, Hartwood Acres,
Duquesne University, The Frick Art and
Historical Center, and the Arcade Comedy
Theater, will all have exciting events planned
with a touch of the British Isles in mind. So
come out and celebrate the best of what’s
British!

opportunities exist at several different levels
