Antony House near Plymouth, will be transformed this year in celebration of the part it played in Tim Burton's film 'Alice in Wonderland'.
Enjoy a fabulously surreal day at this National Trust property, where stars like Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter and Mia Wasikowska, who plays Alice, gathered to film in 2008. Crawl through a rabbit hole into a magical garden, marvel at the wonderful topiary, follow butterfly trails, play croquet on the lawn, and at weekends join the Mad hatter at one of his tea parties!
The beautifully symmetrical eighteenth century Antony House boasts intimate interiors, with sweeping views over the landscaped gardens. Many of the rooms were used in the film, an upstairs bedroom was transformed into Alice's Bedroom, which will be recreated for children to explore!
Opening hours have been extended, and the gardens will be open every day except Friday from 11am to 5pm until 31st October 2010. The house will be open Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday & Sunday from 12 noon to 5pm.
