- Venue: Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council
Venue: Deerpark, Mount Merrion.
To celebrate the beginning of April and the full bloom of spring, DLR Events invite young and old to put on their maddest hat and come to the Mad Hatters Tea Party. Characters in costume from that famous scene in Alice in Wonderland such as the White Rabbit, Alice, and the Mad Hatter himself will be there to greet ‘guests’ to their very special tea party on long wooden tables under a tree! The storyteller will tell tales from the famous book and there will be plenty of games and activities to be enjoyed by all the family.
Guests will be encouraged to dress up as one of the Alice in Wonderland characters, and wear the maddest hat possible. Through out the day there will be opportunities to show off hats and costumes on the purpose built “Hatwalk” – strut your stuff to the sounds of the DLR Events DJ! Bring a picnic or buy some tea and cakes from the tuck shop and join picnic tables under a tree covered in red & white check tablecloths.
