A Taste of Christmas – High Tea with Santa
Step inside The Marion and be swept into the magic of Christmas. Families are invited to enjoy an enchanting high tea – a festive tradition full of wonder, joy and a little Christmas sparkle.
Indulge in a Christmas-inspired menu of delicate pastries, freshly baked scones and sugar-dusted delights, all served in the grandeur of our main dining room.
For little ones, the magic truly comes to life as they meet Santa & Mrs Claus, share their wishes and capture the moment with beautiful keepsake photographs to treasure for years to come.
Each attending child will also receive a special Hey Doodle Jingle Bells Colouring Mat, the perfect little gift to keep the Christmas magic going long after the day is over.
Set against the beautiful lake backdrop, with exquisite fare and the joyful spirit, High Tea with Santa is more than just a dining experience, it’s a chance to slow down, make memories and create a Christmas tradition your family will treasure year after year.
