Alice's Day

This event is now fully booked.

Join us for Alice's Day when our Walled Garden will be transformed into a magical Wonderland. 

The Mad Hatter & March Hare return to the Garden for the annual celebrations of Alice's Day.

Join WhatNot Theatre for a fizzing new adventure as we take a tumbling down the rabbit hole to find our absurd Hatter & Hare still sipping tea and swapping seats. 

Encounter our curious creatures; the grinning Cheshire Cat, the furious Queen of Hearts, a nervous White Rabbit, an all-knowing Caterpillar, the melancholy Mock Turtle, a ridiculous Dodo and a questionable Lobster.

These are relaxed performances, accessible and suitable for all the family involving audience participation from the comfort of your own picnic blanket. But beware, the Queen of Hearts may demand more…Bring a blanket, a picnic (Hatter particularly enjoys jam sandwiches) and your curiosity. 

Show times: 10:30, 12:30 (sold out) and 14:30 (sold out)

Your ticket for the event includes entry to the Garden all day so you can arrive before the performance for which you are booked and stay as long as you like afterwards. We are open as normal from 10:00 until close.

In addition to our theatre performances, enjoy the following activities, free with your entry ticket:
