An upcoming special event will combine High Tea, Howard Park wines, fine artworks and live music in one of the region's most beautiful settings.
Wilyabrup's exclusive Secret Garden will open its doors to ticketholders in their best summer soiree outfits for a rare opportunity to take a tour of the private garden with owner Pat Poynton.
Attendees will also have the chance to view and bid on artworks by well known local artists including Leon Pericles, Kay Gibson, Rachel Coad, Ian Dowling, Douglas Kirsop, Mary-lynne Stratton and many more.
All artworks have been generously donated by the artists for the event, with local artist Kay Gibson saying she is delighted to support Arts Margaret River.
This is your chance to bid for an artist's work that you have always wanted in your collection and possibly also get to meet them on the day as well.
