Wonderland and the White Rabbit...

If you were in the Gardens at Tatton over the Easter Weekend you may have thought you were seeings things with a White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, Queen of Hearts and other slightly mad characters but it was of course quite real! well, I think it was...

The weather was a bit chilly but the Rabbit did tell me that at least the fur coat kept him cosy, and perhaps the way everyone was running about kept the rest of them warm too, along with the tea...you can’t have Alice in Wonderland without the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party.

The visitors joined in (with a bit of encouragement) with singing, dancing, juggling and anything else the children persuaded their parents to get up and perform!

It looked very busy in the Stableyard with a Magic Show, Punch and Judy and Hat Making...a quiz in the Mansion and a trail in the Gardens. Lots going on at the Farm too with storytelling with the Queen of Hearts and following the Cheshire Cat trail...not forgetting the main event with lots of new born lambs and chicks.

As well as the amazing characters and the madness of the Alice in Wonderland story, there was the real magic of all the plants and trees bursting into flower and blossom and new life with the baby animals...a proper Easter!
