March - April Alice in Wonderland @ Antony
Director Tim Burton chose Antony to be a key location for the new Disney adaptation of Alice in Wonderland, which is out in cinemas on 5 March 2010*. Since filming took place at Antony in 2008, we've been inspired to create our own magical wonderland. The house, garden and estate will all be transformed so you can enjoy our tea parties, walk through scenes from the dream-like stories of Alice, and even meet our own Mad Hatters. Visit the Anthony website or see below for event details.
* Alice in Wonderland is released across the UK on 5 March on 2D, Disney Digital 3D and IMAX 3D® screens.
