Alice in Pantoland

Follow Alice down the rabbit hole into Pantoland and discover a fantastical world of talking animals, dancing playing cards and a rather angry queen. No sooner does Alice arrived in Pantoland when things start to go missing and all are terrified by the threat to “Call the Executioner!” But who is the real Villain in this tale?

Befriended by Dame Merry Berry, an eccentric Hatter, the March Hare and a sleepy Dormouse; Alice attempts to clear her name before the executioner catches up with her. Use your imagination and join us in this weird and wonderful world as we journey with Alice on her most peculiar adventure. Just remember, nothing is impossible in Pantoland.

Must dash now! I’m late you see and that would never do.

Signed

Harvey Cottontail W.R.
