Stage One: The Brief
Our brief focused on delivering a fully immersive Alice in Wonderland experience to celebrate Hedgeforce’s 20th anniversary in business. The client wanted performers, themed catering carts, and interactive elements that would transport guests into a whimsical world. Popcorn carts and candy floss carts needed to match the theme while offering colourful and playful treats.
We designed the experience to feel seamless from arrival to exit. Every detail aimed to reinforce the strange and curious tone of Wonderland. Live interaction played a central role, ensuring guests felt part of the story rather than simple observers.
Stage Two: Welcome To Wonderland
Guests entered a lively and surreal environment from the moment they arrived. They enjoyed a wide range of themed activities throughout the event space. Selfie walls provided colourful backdrops, encouraging visitors to capture and share their experience. Nearby, giant chess boards and classic lawn games offered relaxed entertainment for all ages.
A beautifully decorated balloon arch created a striking focal point within the venue. Candy floss carts and sweet popcorn carts added both flavour and visual appeal with bright colours and playful presentation.
Across the space, performers delivered ambient entertainment that kept energy levels high. Stilt walkers moved through the crowd, while contortionists demonstrated flexibility and control in eye-catching displays. Interactive juggling sessions invited guests to take part, ensuring the experience felt engaging, varied, and memorable.
At the heart of the event stood a giant hedge maze, designed and built by the Hedgeforce team. The maze drew inspiration from classic Lewis Carroll imagery. Twisting paths, misleading signposts, and hidden garden spaces created a sense of playful confusion. Performers guided guests through key sections, with the Mad Hatter posing riddles, the Queen of Hearts ruling the rose garden, and Alice hosting an impromptu tea party.
Stage Three: The Acts
A wide cast of characters brought Wonderland to life. The Mad March Hare added chaotic humour, while the White Rabbit entertained guests with juggling and acrobatic movements. The Cheshire Cat twisted and stretched through contortion, creating a strange and captivating presence.
Absolum the Caterpillar appeared in a graceful butterfly form, adding elegance to the line-up. Each element worked together to maintain a strong visual identity and a sense of playful absurdity.
Stage Four: The Guests
Visitors embraced the experience with enthusiasm throughout the day. Many guests interacted closely with the characters, taking photos and joining in with spontaneous moments. The playful nature of the performances encouraged people to relax and enjoy the nonsense of Wonderland.
As the atmosphere shifted later in the day, live music brought a new energy to the space. Performers joined guests on the dance floor, creating a shared moment of celebration. This blend of interaction and entertainment ensured that the experience felt lively, memorable, and engaging from start to finish.
