We’re thrilled to invite you on a journey down the rabbit hole as we bring this classic tale to life in the beautiful setting of Knowle Park amphitheatre, Cranleigh.
Following the success of last year’s ‘Wind in the Willows (In the Park)’, we are excited to continue our tradition of inclusive, community-driven theatre. This production will blend playful storytelling, creative design, and a vibrant mix of performers of all ages and backgrounds.
This summer, the Mad Hatter’s tea party is coming to Knowle Park, Cranleigh, as we celebrate 160 years of “Alice in Wonderland” with an unforgettable open-air community performance. Following the joy of last year’s “Wind in the Willows (In the Park)”, we’re once again bringing local stories to life with a curious twist and a lot of heart.
This show is made by local people, for local people. It’s a huge team effort powered by the goodwill, imagination, and occasional borrowed gazebo from our wonderful community. As a grassroots project focusing on community values and sustainability, we’re inviting local businesses that share our values to support the production through sponsorship. This is a great opportunity to demonstrate your ongoing commitment to supporting local arts and community initiatives, helping to strengthen the fabric of our village through a joyful, family-friendly production.
This is more than a performance. It’s a grassroots project made by and for the community, from the repurposed set pieces and handmade costumes to the diverse and inclusive cast.
