Wizards and witches – dust off your wands and dress in your fanciest robes for a Wizardry High Tea at Shangri-La Sydney. Hosted in the hotel’s grand ballroom, this high tea is a twist on the British afternoon tradition featuring a bedazzling buffet of treats and drinks. It’s promising a magical experience for both the young and the young-at-heart, and is exclusively available across three weekends during the winter school holidays from July 1-16.
You’ll start with a selection of finger sandwiches including hypnotised ham and cheese, time-turning turkey and brie, and enchanted egg and mayo. The culinary wizards of Shangri-La will then treat you to bite-size sweets including chocolate chip cockroach clusters, blood-flavoured cake pops, golden quartz pocket macarons and spell gem lamingtons.
A wizard’s feast is incomplete without mystical potions and the little ones can opt for bubbling hot chocolate, juice and soft drinks. Wizards over 18 may prefer coffee and tea, but can also add on spiked brews.
The Shangri-La Wizardry High Tea will be hosted across two seating times from 11am-1pm and 2.30-4.30pm on July 1-2, 7-9 and 14-16. Tickets are $59 for kids aged four to 11 and $79 for ages 12 and up.
