On Saturday 28 May, from 11 am to 1.30pm in Mountshannon, all is not quite what it seems as a Mad Hatter hosts a most unusual tea party for children in Mountshannon. The Mad Hatter’s Tea Party is a fun and quirky event featuring an Arts and Crafts workshop for children to create their very own top hat with the guidance of a professional milliner.

The Mad Hatter herself will be there to greet ‘guests’ to their very special tea party on arrival before you make your way down the rabbit hole to the magical hat making workshop setting.

Workshop Features

Each child will create their own custom Top Hat, choosing their own colour palette and adding textured fabrics, netting and quirky decorations. This very special tea party will include opportunities to show off hats on the “Hat walk” – strut your stuff to the sounds of the Mad Hatter DJ. At the end of this workshop we’ll celebrate by wearing our fabulously mad top hats to a Mad Hatters Tea Party. There you’ll be served an assortment of delicious treats.

Mountshannon Arts Festival invites all the guests to wear their hat creation on a hat walk at the parade where you’ll receive lots of attention from people who think your top hat is the coolest ever!

Plan a packed lunch!
