Guests stepped into a real-life Wonderland, mingling in sun-dappled gardens with drinks and canapés as a Mad Hatter saxophonist set the mood with smooth, enchanting melodies. The magic came alive through a cast of captivating performers — a Queen of Hearts in a shimmering English sparkling wine dress, a trapeze artist soaring overhead, a wonderful magician conjuring wonder at every turn, Alice and her two Card Guards, and a mischievous White Rabbit weaving delight through the crowd.
Attendees also had the opportunity to explore Arundells, the former home of Prime Minister Sir Edward Heath KG MBE. The chance to wander through the historic house proved to be a highlight for many guests.
