Blooming sweet scents, the hum of magical melodies, beckoning thou to this whimsical woodland for a Hippopotamus’ high tea that’s ever so Shakespearean. A celebration of the Royal New Zealand Ballet’s upcoming production of Midsummer Night’s Dream, doth entwine in perfect harmony for a mischievous afternoon of delightful folly.
Sip on enchanted concoctions served in vintage chalices, partake in dainty pastries and sandwiches inspired by Shakespeare’s loveable characters. From Puck’s playful scones to Oberon’s regal finger sandwiches, each bite a spellbinding adventure for all fairies and creatures alike.
An enchanting display set above the twinkling Wellington harbour, experience the magical performance of our playful high tea from September until the start of November.
$2 of every high tea will be donated to the Royal New Zealand Ballet.
