This Easter Saturday, for one day only, you and your family are invited to jump down the Rabbit Hole to experience a fantastical family adventure; the Alice in Wonderland Experience, set in the mystical wonderland that is the glorious Arley Hall and Gardens.

Produced by Sneaky Experience, the Alice in Wonderland Experience at Arley Hall takes place on Saturday 8 April and is set to be a magical, upside-down adventure like you have never experienced before.

The world has gone topsy-turvy: the wondrous Alice and her friends, (or enemies!), the Queen of Hearts, the Mad Hatter, Absolem the Caterpillar, that tricksy Rabbit and the rest of those marvellously mad characters have jumped out from the pages of Lewis Carroll’s classic tale. Miraculously, they’ve found themselves in a new, and quite different wonderland: Arley Hall and Gardens!

You’re invited to get dressed up in your wackiest, most colourful outfits and join in the fun and games, as you meet these crazy characters in real life. Expect twists and turns, ups and downs, delightful storytelling and sensory delight as they lead you through their wacky but wonderful world that has some how made its way to Cheshire.

What will you see? Where will you go? Who will you meet? This way or that? Who knows… but this is an experience that is bound to stretch your imagination to its limits, as the day gets curiouser and curiouser by the minute!

This day out is perfect for children aged 2 – 8 and their parents, with the main show lasting around 45 minutes. Following on from the show, you can take part in the Bunny Trail around the garden, where it’s your job to find the cut-out carrots in the bunnies’ favourite hiding spots.

Included with every full-paying child ticket is an Easter Egg, making the Alice in Wonderland Experience at Arley Hall and Gardens the perfect Easter trip out for the whole family to enjoy. Eggs, adventure, crazy characters, bunnies and magical moments… What’s not to like?!
