Witches and Warlocks High Tea

Overview

Themed high teas are been all the rage for years now, and one pop-culture favourite keeps inspiring daytime feasts. So, from Monday, June 26–Sunday, July 2, the Stamford Plaza is dedicating the week to wizards, witches, goblins and muggles, with the inner city hotel transforming its sipping sessions into magical high teas.

The theme takes its cues from the world of Harry Potter, and ticket holders can expect a tiered feast of gastronomic delights to match. On the menu at the Witches and Warlocks High Tea alongside sandwiches, scones and savoury bites are Ministry of Magic macarons, Honeyduke's black lollipops, chocolate and raspberry wands, and pink cockroach clusters.

Also on offer: Mrs Weasley's baked cheesecake, mango and coconut spell cake, Ravenclaw blueberry bliss and Hagrid's giant pavlova, plus the enchantment found at the packed candy bar.

Dressing up as your favourite wizardry character is highly encouraged and, to complete the immersive experience, there'll be live performances in the spirit of the occasion.

Tickets cost $75 for adults, with 2.30–4pm seatings daily, plus 11am–12.30pm Tuesday–Sunday.
