Adventures in Wonderland: An Immersive Experience

This summer, Raby Castle, Park and Gardens invites you to step into the curious world of wonderland in a brand-new, immersive light experience taking place in the Riding School. Families embark on a journey as you wander amongst illuminated tunnels, kaleidoscope projections, a magical garden, oversized mushrooms and dandelions as well as the iconic Mad Hatter’s Tea Party. It is the perfect place to shelter from those summer showers or midday sunshine.

The experience includes a complimentary Scavenger Hunt for children where they listen to the tales of wonderland and keep their eyes peeled to spot the magical items along the way.

 

“We all had a lovely time, it was truly a magical experience. The kids really enjoyed the lights and scavenger hunt. There’s lots of great photo opportunities and you might even meet the Queen of Hearts. I would highly recommend a visit” – Felicity
