Alice in Wonderland weekend

Wear your widest Cheshire Cat smile at Tatton Park this Easter as an Alice in Wonderland event comes to the historic estate in rural Cheshire East. 

From Saturday 23 - Monday 25 April, Tatton plays host to an enchanting weekend with themed activities taking place across the park.

In the gardens families can follow the quizzical White Rabbit trail to the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, where a cast of curious characters will riddle and rhyme their way through tea. Visitors can also enjoy the stunning landscaped gardens in their full spring colour. 

Through the looking glass in the mansion, visitors can follow the trail through the beautiful state rooms. There is also the opportunity to see the current mansion exhibition which celebrates the centenary of Tatton’s Japanese garden.

‘Off with your head' if you fail to make it to the farm where the Queen of Hearts will be making regal jam tarts and children can follow the Cheshire Cat quiz. Visitors will be able to see new-born lambs, piglets and newly-hatched chicks and ducklings.

There is magic dust in the stableyard where Mr Bimbamboozle will be dazzling with his Alice-themed puppet show and the White Rabbit may be putting in an appearance for Poz the Magician. Younger visitors can also enjoy the tea-cup ride for a small charge.
