Dining Events in Canberra

Join us for another year of culinary excellence with Parliament House’s award-winning Executive Chef, David Learmonth, as he presents an Enlighten-inspired six-course degustation. Chef David will take guests on a sensory journey celebrating the best of seasonal local produce, with the option to enhance your experience through expertly matched wines. Begin your evening on the terrace with a bespoke Enlighten-themed cocktail, while taking in the sweeping views of Canberra’s skyline. Indulge in this unforgettable dining experience before making your way to the Enlighten Festival Hub to enjoy the lights, sounds and energy of the night. It truly is the best seat in the House.

Connect with fabulous Canberra women while you enjoy stunning views & the decadent QTea High Tea x Space Kitchen, plus a cocktail or two! Held on International Women’s Day weekend, this event is a chance to pause, connect, and celebrate YOU - the women of Canberra - personally, professionally, and collectively.

Join us for a relaxed and joyful afternoon in the garden, where you’ll be welcomed with delicious canapés and a glass of sparkling wine on arrival. Take the time to unwind, enjoy the beautiful surroundings, and mingle with other wonderful women in our community.
