Mad Hatters Topsy Turvy Tea Party

The Mad Hatter himself will be hosting a very special Topsy Turvy Tea Party at Gibraltar Point on Wednesday 6 June and Friday 8 June, from 2pm – 4pm.

The Gibraltar Point visitor centre will be turned into a crazy upside-down wonderland that would be just perfect for Alice, the White Rabbit or the Queen of Hearts.  So why not join us and celebrate your unbirthday. There will be mouthwatering array of sandwiches, an extraordinary topsy turvy cake and other delicious treats that will shout out ‘eat me’.  You can also enjoy whimsical party games and journey through Wonderland to meet the Cheshire Cat. The experience will keep getting curiouser and curiouser, and will certainly be an event to remember.  It’s ideal for families, whether fans of Alice in Wonderland or not. Join in the fun on Wednesday 6 June or Friday 8 June, from 2pm – 4pm, they are important dates – so don’t be late.  Book your places today on 01754 897845 or email the Gibraltar Point Visitor Centre.  It’s just £7 per person and once you’ve booked a personal invitation will be dropping through your letterbox.
