MAD HATTERS TEA PARTY

Crtierion High Tea has become a very popular event on the Grafton calendar. Featuring music from the CVCON ensembles Strings'n'Things and Jazzy Sundays, the 2026 Mad Hatters Tea Party will yet again be a chance to enjoy some yummy food and beautiful music. Built as a Dance Hall in 1890's, the historic Criterion Theatre is the perfect venue for an old-time Sunday Soirée.

Spend a pleasant Sunday afternoon in our historic hall, catch up with friends, meet some new ones and celebrate Jacaranda Festival in style.

DRESS: Mad! Exciting prizes will be awarded for the best hats.
