Exeter College Performing Arts students are bringing to life Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland in their own unique adaption of the much-loved classic.

2015 is the 150th anniversary of the publication of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.

There will also be jazzy DJs, walkabout theatre, exotic drinks and a Wonderland fancy dress theme.

Presented by Cabaret Voltaire.

Tickets £8
