Raise your tea cup at Mayes

To celebrate the arrival of Spring, a garden party is being held on Saturday, October 25 at Mayes Cottage House Museum.

The event from 11am to 1.30pm will feature music, food and lawn games such as bocce, quoits and croquet.

Bring along a picnic basket or pre-order a grazing box (by October 15), relax under the mango trees and be entertained by live music from local duo Edgy & Hedgy.

Mayes Cottage is a heritage-listed museum in Kingston built in 1887 by the Mayes family, which has been preserved for future generations by Logan City Council.
