If you’re looking for something magical to do with the kids this Easter holiday, Alice in Wonderland at Riverside Studios might just be the perfect choice. Running until 12 April 2026, this critically acclaimed production brings Lewis Carroll’s beloved story to life in a way that’s tailor-made for young imaginations.
A Whimsical World Kids Will Love
From the moment Alice tumbles down the rabbit hole, children are swept into a vibrant, topsy-turvy world where anything can happen. This isn’t just a retelling – it’s a full sensory adventure.
Expect:
- Enchanting puppetry that brings curious creatures to life
- Bright, colourful sets and costumes that feel like stepping inside a storybook
- A playful, fast-moving story that keeps younger audiences engaged throughout
For kids, it’s pure magic. For parents, it’s a joy to watch them completely absorbed.
Perfectly Designed for Young Audiences
One of the standout things about this production is how thoughtfully it’s been created with children in mind:
- Age guidance: 5+, making it ideal for primary school-aged kids
- 60-minute running time, so it holds attention without dragging
- Daytime showtimes (12:00 and 15:00), perfect for family outings
It’s long enough to feel like a special theatre trip – but short enough to avoid restless little ones.
Familiar Characters, Fresh Fun
Kids will love meeting all the iconic characters they may already know:
- The always-late White Rabbit
- The mischievous Cheshire Cat
- The larger-than-life Queen of Hearts
The story is packed with humour, surprises, and just the right amount of silliness – exactly what makes Alice in Wonderland such an enduring favourite.
A Proven Family Hit
This production has already sold out runs across Australia and wowed London audiences during its UK premiere last summer. Now it’s back just in time for the holidays – so if you missed it before, this is your chance.
With an experienced creative team behind it – including director and designer Nate Bertone, whose work spans Broadway and the West End – you can expect a high-quality show that still feels accessible and fun for younger viewers.
A Brilliant First Theatre Experience
If your child hasn’t been to the theatre before, this is a fantastic introduction:
- Easy-to-follow story
- Visually engaging from start to finish
- Full of imagination, humour, and heart
It’s the kind of show that can spark a lifelong love of live performance.
Don’t Be Late…
Whether you’re planning a special day out or just want to keep the kids entertained over Easter, Alice in Wonderland is a brilliant pick. After all, opportunities to step into Wonderland don’t come around every day…
