The Enchanted Garden Where Glamour And Giving Take Root

Close your eyes and picture it: fairy lights flickering like fireflies through the forest canopy, music drifting on the night air, champagne glasses catching the glow of lanterns as laughter carries across the hillside. This October, that vision comes to life when Life Publishing Group presents The Enchanted Garden — the very first of what is set to become the Whitsundays’ most coveted annual event.

On Saturday 25 October 2025, the gates of Elementa will open to reveal an evening of magic and meaning, staged high above the Whitsundays with views that seem to spill into infinity. Already embraced by the community, with sponsorships snapped up and only fewer than 30 tickets remaining, the event is primed to sell out. Those who secure their place will be part of something unforgettable — a night destined to become a story retold long after the last glass is poured.

A Night to Wander and Wonder

This is no traditional gala. Forget alternate drops and polite dinner table small talk. Instead, imagine a garden of endless discovery: gourmet tapas flowing all evening, paired with a five-hour premium beverage package, designed for mingling and meandering. Guests will move freely, weaving through exquisitely styled spaces, pausing at insta-worthy installations where cameras flash and conversations bloom. A professional photographer and videographer will be there to capture every moment of glamour — so you can simply live it.

And the entertainment? A top-tier live band, Mo’ Swagger, to keep the tempo high, surprise moments woven through the evening, and an art performance like nothing this region has ever seen.

Matteo Charles: Art in Motion

The headline act, Matteo Charles, is a global phenomenon — a painter who doesn’t just create art, but conjures theatre on canvas. Known for his explosive live portraits of celebrities and world leaders, Charles has performed everywhere from the Monaco F1 to Hong Kong’s celebration of Bruce Lee’s 75th birthday. Now, for the very first time, he will bring his “Inspirational Artistry” to the Whitsundays, painting live under the stars at Elementa.

Each brushstroke is unpredictable, each performance unique.

“You never quite know what will happen,” Matteo says. “You might just have to purchase a ticket and come see for yourself.”

As if one masterpiece weren’t enough, Charles will also debut a brand-new digital artwork, created exclusively for The Enchanted Garden, with limited-edition prints available on the night. Rare, radiant, and destined to become collector’s pieces, they are as exclusive as the event itself.

Glamour Meets Giving

Beneath the sparkle, this is a night with real heart. Every ticket purchased supports seven extraordinary charities: the Trudy Crowley Foundation, Mackay Hospital Foundation, Orange Sky, Bowen and Collinsville Pet Rescue, Mackay Pet Rescue, Fauna Rescue Whitsundays, and the Townsville Spinal Unit — organisations caring for people, animals and communities when they need it most.

For those who want to add an extra dash of delight, Enchanted Keys will be available to purchase. Each key unlocks a prize — all guaranteed to be worth more than the cost of the key itself. It’s part treasure hunt, part indulgence, and fully irresistible.

Be Transported

The evening begins the moment you step onto your return bus transfer — included with every ticket — so the journey itself feels seamless. From there, it’s an immersion: into music, magic, and the company of the region’s most stylish crowd.
Life Publishing Group has poured creativity and care into every detail. From the exquisite decorations designed to surprise and delight at every turn, to the flawless curation of food, drink and entertainment, The Enchanted Garden isn’t just another night out. It’s an escape. An immersion. A new tradition in the making.

The Countdown is On

With fewer than 30 tickets left, anticipation is reaching its peak. This is your chance to be among the first to step into The Enchanted Garden and claim your place in a story that will unfold again and again in years to come. Because while the decorations will change, the spirit of enchantment will remain.

On 25 October, under a canopy of stars, glamour will meet generosity, and the Whitsundays will witness the beginning of something extraordinary.

Secure your ticket now. Because once the garden gate closes, it won’t open again until next year.
