Antarctic Afternoon Tea – Beaker Street Festival 2026

Beat the winter chill at Hadley's Orient Hotel for an ice-inspired Hobartica Afternoon Tea.

8 August 2026

| Hadley's Orient Hotel

Hadley’s Orient Hotel
34 Murray Street, Hobart, Tasmania, 7000

Beat the winter chill at Hadley’s Orient Hotel for an ice-inspired Hobartica Afternoon Tea. In the hotel’s beautifully restored Atrium, enjoy Hadley’s renowned traditional Afternoon Tea service while glaciologist Dr Lenneke Jong and Antarctic Arts Fellow Dr Sue Lovegrove, a former Hadley’s Art Prize finalist, explore the mysteries of Antarctic ice.

Drawing on the Australian Antarctic Program’s Million Year Ice Core Project and the Antarctic Arts Fellowship, they will reveal how ice preserves ancient climate records, shapes Antarctic landscapes, and continues to deepen our understanding of the southern continent. The afternoon will conclude with a guided tour of the Hadley’s Art Prize exhibition. Hadley’s historic Antarctic connections make this the perfect location to embark on a scientific and artistic journey to the Icy Continent.

Guests will enjoy a glass of sparkling, a selection of fine loose leaf teas, coffee, Hadley’s freshly baked signature scones, delicate finger sandwiches, and Victorian-style sweet treats.

This event is part of Beaker Street Festival 2026
