At the Fairy Garden Tea Party, children are encouraged to don their best fairy, elf, or woodland creature attire, with the best costume in for a chance of winning a special prize.
The festivities include a delightful afternoon tea or hot drink and cake options for adults, all served in the restaurant.
Each child will receive a flower crown to keep, as well as the chance to create their own fairy door to take home and a digital portrait in front of a fairy garden backdrop.
The event is best suited for families with children aged three to 10 years, although younger children are welcome to join in some activities with adult supervision.
The children's menu features freshly made flower-shaped sandwiches filled with jam, cheddar cheese, ham, or tuna mayonnaise, scones with whipped cream and jam, carrot and cucumber sticks with cream cheese dip, a mini doughnut topped with a fairy, gingerbread men, and a waffle finger with dipping chocolate and sugar strands.
Adults can enjoy a choice of filter coffee or tea with a cake selection, including triple chocolate, coffee and walnut, or Persian lemon.
Alternatively, they can opt for the afternoon tea, which includes finger sandwiches, scones, and a selection of sweet treats, including Victoria sponge, lemon mousse, and macarons.

Extremely awkward moment Joshua Sasse is asked about ex-fiancee Kylie Minogue on breakfast TV as he says he 'forgot' he starred in one of her video clips
Joshua Sasse made a rare appearance on Channel Seven 's The Morning Show on Wednesday to discuss his new series Outrageous. But things took an awkward turn when the show's host Kylie Gillies asked him about his ex-fiancée Kylie Minogue. After discussing his role on the show and his film Love Is in the Air alongside Delta Goodrem, Kylie asked him about his past. 'You must love working with Aussie singers because you were in a Kylie Minogue music video,' she said. 'Was I?' a confused Joshua responded before adding: 'Ohh yes that happened. It was a last minute thing.' Kylie asked: 'Were you dating? Because you dated there for a while.' 'Yes we were, we were engaged,' Joshua said before explaining how he ended up in the video clip. 'We didn't know what to do for the video and we all pitched in last minute and that happened.' Joshua was just 27 when he fell for pop superstar Kylie, who was 20 years his senior, after she signed up for a guest role in his musical comedy series Galavant. Their romance didn't exactly have a fairytale beginning as it was reported Joshua was still married to his ex Francesca Cini, with whom he shares a son, when he met Kylie on set in the summer of 2015. The romance was an open secret on set, though - so much so that even Joshua's co-star Vinnie Jones joked that the actor had his sights set on Kylie from the start. In February 2016, just six months after meeting, Sasse proposed. A year later, and the whirlwind romance came crashing down, as the couple revealed they had called off their engagement. At the time of their separation, it was reported that Kylie had suspected Joshua was cheating on her. The rumours were never confirmed, but Joshua never took legal action against the dozens of news outlets that called him a cheater. After their split, he went on to date another Australian, Louisa Ainsworth. They married in 2018, welcomed two children and settled in for a quiet life in Byron Bay - a coastal town in northern New South Wales. But last month, Joshua confirmed they had separated just hours after he was papped canoodling with a Byron Bay local. He told Daily Mail that he and Louisa had decided to part ways 'after thoughtful consideration and with mutual respect'. One day earlier, Joshua and a local woman looked very comfortable in each other's company at North Belongil Beach Park Reserve. The woman - who is also married - arrived, parking next to Joshua, before the pair exited their vehicles, happily walking and talking with a dog in tow. At one stage, she placed her hand under his T-shirt to rub his chest while gazing into his eyes. Their meeting lasted about 25 minutes before the pair headed back to their respective vehicles.

Christian 'Prince' Wilkins reveals X-rated detail about his sex life
Christian 'Prince' Wilkins dropped a hint about his sex life during a podcast interview on Wednesday. The 29-year-old son of entertainment reporter Richard Wilkins had the raunchy discussion with Dan Brophy on his show In The Name Of The Diva. The pair debated if Kylie Minogue 's hit All The Lovers is about having sex with someone who is well-endowed, with Christian hinting he may have experience in that department. 'This is a deep state conspiracy theory of mine...,' Dan said as he kicked off the discussion. Christian appeared unconvinced by the theory, as he responded with: 'How did we get there?' 'She is saying, "Of all the lovers who have gone before, that no one compares to you. Don't be frightened, just give me a little bit more,"' Dan explained. 'Okay,' Christian said with a smile as he began to come around to Dan's side of things. The host then continued to quote the lyrics of the song, saying: '"When you get too close it burns. It hurts." You know?' Christian quickly joked he has experienced the act, before telling Dan there is 'a case' for his theory. Christian is known for his brazen aura, frequently drumming up controversy over his unapologetic and gender-bending fashion choices. In 2022, he attended the Logies wearing a dress, but the bold and fashionable act was met with horrific comments from cruel online trolls. At the time, the socialite told ABC's Insight he received thousands of awful comments after he dared to defy gender stereotypes by sporting a gown on the red carpet. 'People [were] telling me to OD, people telling me that I'm a disgrace,' Christian said. 'I mean, I was very surprised to find out that the patriarchy was so flimsy that it could be taken down by a piece of white silk.' He also praised his parents, entertainment guru Richard Wilkins and flight attendant Michelle Burke, for continually supporting his gender expression. 'As a kid, I always, kind of, loved anything that was pink and sparkly… I was never necessarily encouraged to wear dresses,' he explained. 'But my parents said, if I wanted to, they would absolutely allow me to.' However, Christian appeared unwilling to court the drama this year, as he decided to skip the 2025 Logies red carpet and headed straight for the after party. While his father, Richard, 71, dressed in a tux, and posed alongside the media wall with some celebrity buddies, Christian opted not to attend the Sydney ceremony. Instead, Christian dressed up to the nines at home, ready to party into the night with his A-lister friends. In photos shared on Instagram, Christian showed off his look for the night, which included a skimpy, black and white sequin top that flashed lots of skin. Christian also had a full face of makeup, courtesy of a celebrity makeup artist, and had his blonde locks styled.
