How does this sound? A high tea overlooking the grounds surrounded by rose gardens and water features.
For a typical Queen or Princess, why not enjoy a divine selection of French pastries, fresh scones with whipped cream and a selection of gourmet finger sandwiches. Exquisite range of tea’s, coffee’s or maybe even sparkling wine?
This is definitely a unique experience, and with venues such as the Hunter Valley, a outdoor high tea with your best girls is surely a luxurious event.
2. Sex and the City

Hire your own VIP lounge packed with champagne and freshly shaken cocktails – including Cosmopolitans of course. Don’t forget delicious canapes!
No Manolo’s? No problem. Pop on your favourite heels and head to the heart of the city for a night of mingling and dancing. So, buckle up ladies and play the popular hens game, ‘Questions about him’. Remember, get it wrong, and Mr Vodka will deal with you himself!
3. Screen Printing Classes

Sewing machines, screen printing carousels, even a yardage table! Check out Bobbin and Ink where you can learn to take a basic t-shirt, tea towel or poster and expose it onto a screen using a UV light.
From mixing ink colours to multi-colour printing, this unique activity is a great idea to socialise, laugh and learn a thing or two!
Fabric or paper? You decide.
