Who stole the tarts?

The Queen of Hearts of course....and you can see her, alongside Alice, this Wednesday 12th August when the Treehouse Theatre bring their summer panto Alice in Wonderland to Cranborne Village Hall.

This exciting Artsreach production has something for all the family, from age 4 upwards. And 30 members of the audience can play a part on stage, joining Alice, the Mad Hatter, the Queen of Hearts and other characters from the much-loved story.

The performance starts at 3pm but get there by 2.30pm if you want to play a part. Tickets are £8 for adults, £6 for children and £24 for a family: book via www.artsreach.co.uk or by emailing [email protected]

And the good news is that the Queen hasn't really stolen the tarts: we'll be holding a Mad Hatter's Tea Party afterwards. Visit the What's On page on www.cranbornevillagehall.org.uk to find out more and book your teas, which are £4 for children (pre-booked only). Adult refreshments will be available on the day.
