An 'unbirthday' party with the Queen of Hearts

11.00-11.30am
12.15-12.45pm
1.30-2.00pm

Join a very bossy, accordion-playing Queen of Hearts for a tea party in which everybody can join in as Alice or Alistair. A harassed White Rabbit gets caught up in the Queen's domestic demands - and look out for a large caterpillar and mushroom. Bring a picnic and enjoy the fun on the front lawn - dress up if you can.
FREE EVENT.
