Tea and Music

Tea for two, or three or four, or maybe more.

We invite you, your parents and grandparents to join us for a tea party at the State Library of Queensland.

Dress up, sing and dance to the musicians at the concert, celebrate the songs and sounds of the railways and then relax on our back deck to enjoy tea and tasties.
