Alice In Wonderland

Visit actress Ellen Terry’s 16th-century
home and cottage gardens at Smallhythe
Place in Tenterden and enjoy a day
out exploring this National Trust
property. Then finish the day enjoying
an open air production of Lewis
Carroll’s Alice In Wonderland. This isn’t
‘just’ a play, though...to make it even
more wonderful and even more
memorable for the little ones (as well as
the older ones in the party), this is a
vibrant, exciting musical version.
A day out in Canterbury
Kent has a number of amazing villages,
towns and cities within its boundaries
and they all have something special to
offer. Canterbury is a great choice of
city if you’re planning to get there early
and leave late since it has a little bit of
everything. Start with the magnificent
cathedral (if you time it right you might
even get to hear a service or the choir
practising) and then head over to the
Roman Museum to find out more about
Canterbury’s history.
For some culture, The Beaney House
of Art & Knowledge is the ideal place
to look into. This art gallery and
museum holds different events
throughout the year and most of them
are either free or ask for a donation
rather than setting a specific price.
You can’t visit Canterbury without
going to the Canterbury Tales. This
interactive attraction tells the story
of Geoffrey Chaucer’s pilgrims as
they travel from London to Canterbury
and it really brings the tales to life. Or,
why not book a boat tour along the
River Stour? A day out in Canterbury
can be as busy as you want it to be –
there will be plenty to do to keep
everyone entertained.
