Easter Magic

April 22, 2025

The Hinchinbrook Community Support Centre’s weekly Café Crawl brought a burst of Easter cheer to members last week, thanks to the warm hospitality of the team at Majestic Café.

Located on Lannercost Street in Ingham, Majestic Café went above and beyond to make the group feel welcome, setting the scene with a beautifully arranged table and festive Easter treats. The surprises didn’t stop there as each napkin was marked with a lucky number for door prize draws, and a few lucky attendees even discovered hidden prizes beneath the tables.

The HUB crew couldn’t speak highly enough of the thoughtful touches and cheerful atmosphere that made the day so memorable.

"It was such a thoughtful touch that really brought the Easter spirit to life for all our Cafe Crawl members,” one member shared.

As for the food, the caramel tarts were a standout favourite, impressing even the most seasoned Café Crawl regulars. The day was a delightful reminder of the kindness and community spirit that makes Ingham such a special place.

The Café Crawl meets weekly, visiting a new local café each Tuesday to connect, share stories, and enjoy good company over great food. New members are always welcome. To register for the next outing, simply contact Mei at The HUB on (07) 4776 1822!
