Artichoke, producer of extraordinary events including The Sultan’s Elephant and Antony Gormley’s One & Other, invites you to a truly unforgettable evening that imagines you’ve followed in Alice’s footsteps, fallen down the rabbit hole and found yourself in Wonderland in the company of the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter and even Alice herself.

Dining with Alice invites you to a magical, if topsy-turvy, al fresco dinner party, in the gorgeous gardens of Elsing Hall, a 15th-century moated manor house usually closed to the public. Guests will be transported straight to the heart of Lewis Carroll’s imaginary world in an evening that offers a delicious Victorian-style dinner created by gastronomic wizards Bompas & Parr, punctuated by tongue-twisters and riddles, and culminating in a musical entertainment under the stars.

Curiouser and curiouser…don’t you agree?

For those requiring transport, coaches to Elsing Hall will depart from Norwich Theatre Royal at 6.45pm, £5 return
