Come and join us each week this summer at RHS Garden Rosemoor for some exciting adventures with the characters from Alice in Wonderland. Celebrating 150 years of the classic stories Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass with multi-award-winning illustrator Chris Riddell and publishers Macmillan, Wonderland will be brought to life in the garden, throughout the summer holidays.

Look out for a cheeky White Rabbit trying to escape down a hole in the big oak tree. You may even discover the Cheshire Cat smiling as you go by.

Activities in association with Hotrock Productions – activities for Mondays and Tuesdays require pre-booking online
  • Mondays (booking required): Join Alice and the White Rabbit in the search for the Queen of Hearts’ Jam Tarts… they need your help to find them before she yells ‘Off with their heads!’
  • Tuesdays (booking required): Alice, the White Rabbit and friends need your help to get ready for the Mad Hatters Tea Party, but they have forgotten one important thing… a gift for the host, what will they manage to find in time?

Activities in association with Marvellous Adventures: 
Every day in Wonderland is full of fun and excitement, who will you discover?
 
  • Wednesday 28–Friday 30 July: Who ate the cake and grew big and who will drink the potion and shrink? Will it be Alice or the White Rabbit?
