You need to book this for the dog dad in your life! 🐾🐾

Our dog mum's High Tea was so fun, we created a version of our Gentleman's Tea just for dog-dads! 🐕

You’ll be treated to a chilled craft beer or glass of bubbles (or mocktail) upon arrival, a progressive High Tea (both savoury and sweet) featuring hearty gourmet selections made fresh in our kitchen, surrounded in luxury from a bygone era. Your fur-baby will also enjoy its own accompanying High Tea!

Book your tickets now, there’s no other event in Ashburton like High Tea at Hemsworth Estate.

📩 send this to the most competitive person you know! 😅

Our 1920s Murder Mysteries at our historic 1911 homestead, ancestral home for 4 generations of the Guinness family is the perfect end of year function especially if your workplace loves a competitive activity 😉

Each one is bespoke to your workplace, has a unique storyline and has a hint of historical accuracy, all topped with a night of roving canapes that do not stop, Butler Smythe on the bar, and a role for everyone! 🔍

Get in touch about your work do before all our dates book out! 👀

About last night 👀 the most fun Murder Mystery we have hosted so far! You were the most fabulously dressed, extremely competitive, well prepared and talented guests we've ever had! ✨

Thank you for coming, we can't wait to do it again next weekend! (And we're sure you will all be equally talented 😉)

We're sold out for our next Murder Mystery and that's it for ticketed ones until next year 👀 but... We can do private murder mysteries all year round! They make fantastic work dos, birthday party's and celebrations!

Get in touch to enquire about having a bespoke murder mystery for your group. We'd love to host you! 🥂

Big thanks to Emma who captured the moment last night.

Wondering what to expect at our 1920s Murder Mystery? 👀 Tap to scroll through the experience as demonstrated by Lady Hemsworth and Butler Smythe - your hosts for the evening.

We're sold out but if you're just discovering this now, talk to your work about having a murder mystery as an end of year do! They're perfect for the ultra competitive, there's a role for everyone, and the theme is customised to each work place!

Get in touch for the details before our popular dates are gone 👀

20/08/2026

coming to one of our sold out Murder Mysteries this August? We're just saying... ;)

Just hearing about this? Each August we host a 1920s Murder Mystery open to the public, but they also make the perfect end of year function!

Each one is tailored to your work's history, group dynamics and even has roles for the ultra competitive, introverted, and don't underestimate having your admin staff on your team! Get in touch to enquire before our dates all book up!

The birthday celebrations continued with a girl dinner of cocktails, fried food and dessert at The Rabbit with just returned from the UK Laura who you might have met at some of our events 🥂

It's also lovely to be spoilt with a homemade Guinness and chocolate cake. There's nothing like baking for the baker.

Today we are celebrating Rebecca's birthday and what's a better way to do this with a sunny springlike day 🌼 It's not often the words "rest and relaxation" pop up when working in hospitality, but all celebrations are important so a day or two of rest and treats are installed! She deserves it 🥂
