Booths will be featured from Honeydukes, the Plunketts farm, as well as other local confectioners, bakeries and restaurants!
As daylight fades into evening, an informal family-style dinner will be served in the garden at small tables or the long dinner table. Alternatively, themed picnic baskets can be borrowed to enjoy for those wishing to sample some of the foods and beverages of the day in a more intimate way. Donations appreciated!

When: May 23rd
Spells similar to those used in Hogwarts' great hall have been used on the walls and ceilingof the Adebayo ballroom, making the guests feel as though they have been transported to the cosmos with stars, planets, and other celestial bodies visible all around. A rather ornate telescope has been set up on the terrace for those who want a closer look at the real thing. Guests are encouraged to dress "celestially"—think lots of white, silver, or colours associated with individual planets. Other than this, it's a standard issue ball.
