A POPULAR Mid Wales silver-lead mine visitor attraction is welcoming back a curiously bonkers character from Wonderland itself during the school half-term holiday later this month.
A rather exceptional and undeniably Mad Hatter will guide visitors through the story of Alice in Wonderlandlike never before at The Silver Mountain Experience, located next to the A44 near Aberystwyth.
This exciting experience will be included with standard entry tickets when visiting between May 25 to 30, adding even more value to a great family day out.
Nearly 160 years ago, one of the most loved classic children’s stories was written by Lewis Carroll about a girl called Alice who went on many adventures in her family’s summer home in North Wales.
‘The Mad Hatter’s Tale’ reimagines this story by bringing it back to Wales, allowing guests to follow in Alice’s footsteps as they follow the Mad Hatter through a retelling like no other.

As well as this actor-led tour, guests are invited to complete The Time Quest to help the Hatter unstick time, which has mysteriously stopped at 6 o’clock, by finding clues around the site.
There will also be Tea Party Garden Games, where you visitors play Flamingo Croquet and Top Hat Toss! They might even be able to enjoy a spot of tea with the Mad Hatter, too!
This exciting event is included in standard admission this May half-term. A ticket grants access to the choice of one guided or actor-led tour, taking visitors both above and below ground.
