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 11:00am 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.

Entry tickets are $10 each and can be booked through Eventbrite.
