Things to do in Somerset
Alice in Wonderland at Forde Abbey
Planning a visit to Somerset?
Forde Abbey is just a short tootle down the road in the car. And, scattered around the historic gardens and the new restaurant courtyard, you’ll find a range of Lewis Carroll-inspired bronze works – with more sculptures scheduled to be displayed throughout the year.
You’ll find Alice herself gazing across the ancient landscape, a Mad Hatter Water Feature, and a Mad Hatter Tea Party Urn just brimming with whimsy and charm. Striking medieval architecture, spring gardens, and a new courtyard café, Forde Abbey makes for a magical day out in its own right.
