Who Stole the Tarts? Immerse yourself in Wonderland and solve a crime in an attraction based on Alice in Wonderland with a distinct steampunk twist
Who stole the tarts?
Fall down the rabbit hole or Through the Looking Glass and immerse yourself in Wonderland – a new take on Alice In Wonderland with a distinctly steampunk twist.
It is the Queen’s diamond jubilee party and someone has stolen the tarts! Can you help solve the crime? As you move through the redesigned attraction you can expect to encounter your favourite characters from the classic story and they may even help you solve the puzzles and riddles which provide clues to the identity of the thief. They may even join you in the forest for a game of croquet!
Sam Jenkins, Head of Events, said “We wanted to make some considerable changes to the attraction to enable our visitors to experience a brand new event which will hopefully appeal to adults and children alike.
We are all very fond of Alice in Wonderland at Magic Alley and felt it was time to give a specific twist – and turn our visitors into detectives.”
Sam explained that “Wonderland involves solving riddles, ciphers and puzzles as you move through all the different themed rooms to help work out who
stole the tarts. Throughout the May half term and most days during the summer holidays there will be characters making an appearance to assist our visitors with their quest and we have no doubt that this will make the experience even more magical!”
Owner Derek Ives said “We are so pleased to be able to welcome everyone to a brand new event and we truly hope we have created something which will immerse our visitors in another world while remaining in the heart of Stratford upon Avon”.
Magic Alley is committed to community safety and as such is still taking bookings on a timed entry basis with small groups. We are fully wheelchair accessible.
The event opens on Saturday 28th May and will run throughout the summer till early September. Tickets vary in price depending on the number of performers but start at £8
The event is recommended for children over 6 but over 4s are welcome but may need considerable adult assistance and everyone who successfully completes the quest will receive a prize and a certificate. Tickets can be booked in advance at magicalleystratford.com/wonderland and pre booking is highly recommended for weekends and school holidays.
For adults there is Murder in Wonderland: A Whodunnit
This event will be happening on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from the beginning of August
There are two versions – one from 5pm to 6.30 for older children
From 7.30 to 8.30 it is suitable for those 16+ and tickets include prosecco for those over 18 or a soft drink
There has been murder in Wonderland! Or has there?! The Queen’s Guard has disappeared and The Wonderland Detective Agency needs your help to find out what happened. This quest is similar to a popular board game you may have played outside Wonderland where the aim is to find out which suspect, in which room with which murder weapon.
There will be at least one character in the attraction to help or hinder your powers of deduction.
Perfect for anyone who fancies themselves as the next Sherlock Holmes or Miss Marple!
Are you up to the challenge?
Dressing up is very much encouraged
