Why settle for an Easter egg hunt when you can tumble headfirst into Wonderland?
Area 51’s enchanting Alice In Wonderland transforms gardens, parks, forests and outdoor spaces into a living storybook adventure where beloved characters, immersive scenery and interactive experiences combine to create a magical day out for the whole family.
One particularly memorable outing saw the production take over the beautiful grounds of Whatton House in Leicestershire, where the attraction was woven throughout the estate’s acclaimed gardens and woodland walks. Every pathway, lawn and hidden corner became part of a surreal adventure inspire by Lewis Carroll’s timeless masterpiece.
A WONDERLAND BROUGHT TO LIFE
Guests began their journey by stepping through a rabbit hole to enter a curious dream world where reality seemed to bend and imagination took control.
As families explored the beautiful English gardens of this manor house estate, they encountered a host of familiar faces from Wonderland including the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, the Queen of Hearts and many other larger-than-life characters brought vividly to life by Area 51’s talented performers.
With exquisite costuming, perfect theatrical make-up and brilliantly interactive performances, they invited visitors to become part of the tale.
THEATRE BENEATH THE TREES
Throughout the experience, guests were encouraged to take part in a variety of activities including a fascinating treasure hunt and take part in memorable encounters before eventually arriving at one of the day’s highlights: the Mad Hatter’s Circus.
Staged beneath the branches of a magnificent and ancient English oak tree, this delightful spectacle blended circus skills, comedy, music and audience participation to create a joyous celebration of all things Wonderland.
Laughter echoed through the gardens as performers delighted audiences of all ages with a show that captured the playful absurdity and imagination of Carroll’s famous world.
MORE THAN CHARACTERS
What makes Area 51’s Alice attraction so special is that it goes far beyond meet-and-greet entertainment.
Area 51 combines high-quality scenic design, immersive environments, professional actors, musicians and circus performers to create a complete theatrical world that audiences can step inside.
Every pathway becomes part of the story. Every scenic element helps build the illusion. Every performer continues to the sense of wonder and discovery.
The result is an experience that feels less like an event and more like a living adventure.
ADAPTABLE, IMMERSIVE & UNFORGETTABLE
While the gardens of Whatton House provided the perfect setting, Alce in Wonderland has been designed with flexibility in mind.
The attraction can be easily adapted to suit a wide variety of venues, from stately homes and country parks to botanical gardens, visitor attractions, festivals and outdoor events.
It has even been successfully commissioned for international audiences at luxury holiday resorts in the Indian Ocean paradise of the Maldives and has also been staged inside buildings large and small for corporate events.
Wherever it appears, the combination of immersive storytelling, stunning visuals and unforgettable characters ensures that visitors leave with smiles on their faces and memories that last long after they’ve managed to find their way back out of Wonderland.
After all, in Area 51’s Wonderland, the curious don’t just become curiouser: they become PART of the story.
