Pros: Light hearted King Kong romp which should keep older children amused for an hour and a half. A couple of ‘for the parents’ moments. Cons: Old jokes delivered in a shouty style which started to be annoying towards the end.

This show is an excellent way for anyone of any age to spend an afternoon.

To enter simply retweet one of our Alice in Wonderland competition tweets before 5pm on 5 February 2017 AND tell us what you would take to the Mad Hatter’s tea party. Imagination runs wild and logic is abandoned in this fantastical, larger-than-life musical brimming with nonsensical fun and excitement for the entire family. Follow Alice and the White Rabbit as they set off ...

An hour's worth of fun for younger children, providing a good introduction to theatregoing and some play acting ideas to develop.

A memorable version of the Dickens classic momentarily side-tracked by the food!
