You’re Invited to the Most Glamorous High Tea of the Year!

Second Chance Animal Rescue warmly invites you to our highly anticipated Annual High Tea at Marnong Estate – and this year is set to be bigger, more indulgent, and more unforgettable than ever!

Join us this May in the stunning Angliss Room, where sweeping Macedon Ranges views provide the perfect backdrop for an afternoon of elegance, laughter, and celebration – all in support of the lifesaving work we do for people and pets in need.

Your afternoon of indulgence includes:
  • Bottomless Champagne from Marnong Estate
  • Free-flowing premium tea and coffee
  • Tiered platters of exquisite vegetarian sweet and savoury delights, prepared by culinary innovator Chef Greg Feck
  • An exciting live musical act
  • Our famous EPIC silent auction, lucky envelopes, and fabulous prizes throughout the day!

Whether you’re gathering your friends, planning a special Mother’s Day celebration, or treating yourself to something truly special, this is an event you won’t want to miss. Every ticket helps provide care, safety, and second chances for the animals who need us most.

Tickets will sell quickly, so secure yours today and join us for an afternoon of sparkle, celebration, and lifesaving impact!
