Mother’s Day High Tea with Emelia Jackson

  • Events
  • Food and drink

Hosted by Emelia Jackson, this Mother’s Day high tea brings one of Australia’s most loved pastry chefs to Melbourne Town Hall for a special one-day experience.

MasterChef Australia winner, pastry chef and author Emelia Jackson brings her new book, You Had Me at Cake, to the table in a menu created especially for the occasion. Guests will be among the first to experience the new recipes, served in the grand Main Hall at Melbourne Town Hall.

Expect delicate pastries, refined flavours and thoughtfully crafted sweet and savoury pieces, alongside a glass of Penfold's Champagne or cocktail on arrival and free-flowing tea, coffee, soft drinks and juices.

Arriving via Melbourne Town Hall’s dramatic staircase and heritage foyers, guests will step into the Main Hall for an afternoon of live music, iconic surrounds and high tea through Emelia’s lens.
