The Magic Faraway (High) Tree

Step into a world of enchantment at our Magic Faraway (High) Tree – a high tea with a difference! This isn’t your standard three-tier event. Instead, we’ll be offering an unforgettable afternoon with degustation-style courses, each more delicious and surprising than the last. Alongside these delectable dishes, enjoy Enid Blyton inspired Google Buns and Pop Cakes, adding a playful twist to the traditional tea experience.

Throughout the afternoon, renowned actress Jenny will bring the beloved Magic Faraway Tree to life, reading excerpts from the iconic book and immersing guests in its magical world. Get ready to be transported to a land where adventure awaits, and the ordinary becomes extraordinary. As Jenny reads, we’ll meet the quirky Saucepan Man, whose clanging antics always bring a smile, and the sweet, magical Silky the Fairy, whose kindness and magic add a touch of wonder to every tale.

We’ll also do our best to ensure that no one gets splashed by Dame Washalot, but with all the magic in the air, we can’t promise there won’t be a little bit of chaos!

This isn’t just a tea – it’s an experience. Between sips of exquisite tea and bites of delicious treats, you’ll be drawn deeper into the world of the Faraway Tree, where anything is possible. Whether you’re a lifelong fan of the book or someone new to the magic, this event promises to delight and captivate.

So come dressed in your finest, and get ready for a whimsical afternoon filled with magical storytelling, gourmet food, and a sense of wonder. This is the perfect opportunity to relive the magic of your childhood or experience the enchanting world of the Faraway Tree for the very first time.

Children 12+ are welcome, but this event is not recommended for very young children due to the length of the performance. 

Seats are limited, so be sure to secure your place for this magical gathering!

Why High Tree?
We call our High Tea events High Tree because we’ve reimagined the traditional three-tier stand, taking inspiration from nature and art. As the foundations of our venture are rooted in creativity and the celebration of native plants and ingredients, it felt only natural to elevate the experience by creating High Trees instead. Just as a tree reaches for the sky, we pride ourselves on going above and beyond the traditional, taking our events to a higher level. With a focus on Australian flavours and a nod to our artistic roots, High Tree represents not just a twist on the classic, but an elevated experience that celebrates nature, innovation, and artistry in every bite.
