Dining With Alice

12–21 May 2011, Elsing Hall, Norfolk

Artichoke invited you to a truly unforgettable evening that imagined you’d 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 served up an enticing and enchanting Victorian feast in the romantic surroundings of the grounds of Elsing Hall – a gorgeous 15th century manor house complete with moat, serene parkland and formal garden. This unique event was conceived and directed by Hilary Westlake, with text by David Gale and music by Frank Millward, and a cast that included Trevor Stuart as The Mad Hatter, Di Sherlock as the Queen of Hearts and Gary Stevens as the White Rabbit.

Each guest was transported straight to the heart of Lewis Carroll’s imaginary world in an evening which included a sumptuous al fresco dinner created by gastronomic magicians Bompas & Parr, in association with students from City College Norwich, and culminated in a musical entertainment under the stars.
