About

“I fancied things like fairy tales never happened. Now I’m in the middle of one!” said Alice.

Join Alice on her exciting journey through Easter In Wonderland.

It’s a magical adventure with activities for all the family - including our specially produced Mad Hatter’s Circus Show – all set in the enchanting grounds of wonderful Whatton House.

Please note, once the family tickets are sold out, no more will be available.

If you have made an error with your booking, please contact customer care.

Everything will get curiouser and curiouser as you meet the real-life characters from Lewis Carroll’s classic. Disappear through a tree-trunk tunnel into a dreamland that’s as mad as it’s merry. Wander free where your curiosity takes you. Join in or just watch as Whatton’s woodland becomes a wonderland alive with exciting encounters.

The amazing Mad Hatter and his friends decide to stage their own circus with a mighty oak as their Big Top of Talent.

Look for secret clues all around the grounds, each one a brain-teaser taking you on a treasure hunt full of surprises. Meet the White Rabbit and his forest of friends, and beware the right royal rage of the Queen of Hearts and her Playing Card Guards.

There’s so much to see and do, so allow a crazy couple of hours tto make the most of your magical day in Whatton’s Easter In Wonderland.

“And Don’t be late for the Mad Hatter’s Circus!”

“Eat me. Drink me” said the labels.

We promise you won’t shrink to doll-size or grow like a giant, as Alice did. But our special seasonal catering will delight Wonderland visitors, large and small. It’s the perfect tasty treat during your day out in Wonderland at Whatton.
