Everything for a Newcastle Bridal Shower
Compare suppliers on Party Hero ready to help plan your bridal shower, then enquire direct – free.
The bride's closest friends often want something to do together rather than a room to sit in, and Newcastle has a run of hands-on workshops that suit a shower of eight to 20.
On King Street, The Art Department gives its whole pottery studio to a private clay and sip party of 15 to 20, with clay, tools and teaching supplied and your own snacks and drinks; groups of 15 or more get champagne. Lake House Clay and Art Studio at Coal Point runs a smaller Clay 'n Sip with lake views, or a kokedama or dried flower wreath workshop, each planned with you over the phone. In Tighes Hill, The Yellow Door Kitchen adapts any class into a private event and seats 20 at a communal table to eat what the group has cooked.
For a tighter circle, Inner City Winemakers in Wickham pours seated tastings for up to eight From $15 per person, with a cheese platter to share. A larger shower with both families fits The South East View at Belmont 16s Sailing Club, which splits into two rooms over Belmont Bay, with celebration packages From $79 per person.
