Pink High Tea
Tuesday 29 September 2026, 2:00pm – 5:00pm at Rydges Newcastle. $120 per head. Limited tickets — max 150 guests.
This year, AFL Masters is proud to partner with the Hunter Breast Cancer Foundation, a Newcastle-based charity that provides practical support, information and assistance to women, men and families across the Hunter region affected by breast cancer.
What makes HBCF unique is that funds raised stay right here in the Hunter, supporting local people when they need it most.
As an organisation, AFL Masters has always been about more than football. It's about community, connection, supporting one another and leaving a positive legacy wherever our National Carnival is held.
By aligning our High Tea event with HBCF, we have the opportunity to celebrate those values while supporting an organisation making a real difference in the local community.
The "Pink" in Pink High Tea simply reflects the internationally recognised colour associated with breast cancer awareness and our support of HBCF.
And don't worry — there's no strict dress code! Whether you choose to wear a touch of pink, dress to impress, or simply come along and enjoy the afternoon, everyone is welcome.
Join us for an afternoon of great company, beautiful food, inspiring stories and plenty of fun, all while supporting a wonderful local cause.
