UPDATE! A new 11am session on January 19th has been added, details below (YEWWW!).
You read that right, folks. It’s time for all your Hogwarts-themed dreams to come true: a Harry Potter High Tea is being held at the end of the month. Dust off your broomsticks, put on the robes you bought for Halloween that one year, and grab some friends for what is sure to be a spellbinding event.
On Saturday January 19th, Sir Stamford at Circular Quay will be transformed into the Great Hall. You’ll be handed a glass of Butterbeer on arrival (and I know we’ve all been dying to know what it tastes like). There will be magic happening at all the tables, thanks to one of the finest magicians in Australia aka The Gentleman’s Magician – and goodness it’ll be a wand-worthy time.
Meanwhile the High Tea menu looks nothing short of magical:
Philosopher’s Scones
with Whipped Cream & Raspberry Jam
Magical Sweet Treats
Golden Gateaux
Haigh’s Chocolate Frog Slice
Thunderbolt Macaroons
Hedwig Cupcakes
Passion Fruit Verrine with Coconut Crumble
Magical Savoury Selection
Ginny Miniature Curry Puffs
Muggle Quiche Lorraine
Hagrid’s Rock Cakes
Mrs Weasley’s Cucumber Sandwich with dill Creme Fraiche
Chicken Cauldron Shallot Pinwheel
Smoked Accio Salmon, Beetroot and Lemon Cream Cheese Rolls
Yum.
Due to high demand, another session has been added earlier in the day. You can now dive in on the 11am-1pm session, with the later 2-4pm time fully booked. Don’t miss out on the event that will complete your childhood, and grab them here.
