High Teas at Garden of HOPE 

October Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th 2023
Held over 2 days, these delightful High Teas are set by the edge of Lake Hawthorn overlooking the beautiful Gardens. This is our annual event held in the peak of Spring with the flowers back in full bloom and new fresh green leaves on the trees after the winter chills – it’s when the gardens look their best in the year. Homemade food served High Tea style, with a range of special sandwiches, Arancini balls and savouries, plus slices, truffles, sweets and our Cara Tara cupcake special.  We bring out all the beautiful old china cups, saucers, teapots, teaspoons, etc., with unlimited Coffee and Tea plus a special Punch.
Why not spoil yourself to a treat and dress up if you like too…men are welcome also.
 
Any funds raised from this goes towards helping to develop the Garden of Hope as a great family place for the community.
