Join us for an afternoon of bookish joy on Sunday 24th May

We've brought back our favourite event from 2025 - our Lit-tea-rary fundraiser!

An afternoon for book lovers, our Lit-tea-rary Tea Party is our spin on the international Tea Party for M.E. which has raised over $100,000 for ME/CFS charities all over the world.

Paired with a secondhand book swap, this is a perfect afternoon for book lovers to get together for an afternoon of bookish joy.

What: Lit-Tea-rary Tea Party & Book Swap Fundraiser for M.E.

When: Sunday 24th May, 2pm

Where: St Stephen's Hall, 14 Tamahere Drive (Hamilton)

Cost: $40 ($10 from every ticket donated to ME/CFS support)

 

TICKETS ON SALE FRIDAY 1ST APRIL 

  • Join our Lit-tea-rary Tea Party

    Relax with a cup of tea, refresh your TBR with some new books (including a free book for all attendees), and help us raise funds for people with ME/CFS in NZ.

    We will have a range of tasty treats including gluten, dairy free and vegan options, as well as a wide range of teas and hot drinks to enjoy.

  • Refresh your TBR with a secondhand book swap

    Bring up to 10 preloved books to exchange as part of our secondhand book swap.

    And as an added bonus, each guest gets a free book to take home too!

  • Can't make it in person?

    If you can't attend in person, you can still join us to 'Read for M.E.'

    Set aside some time on the day to read a book, enjoy something yummy, and donate the price you’d expect to pay in a cafe to help us raise funds to support people with ME/CFS in NZ.

Tickets on sale 1st April
