With the streets of Kensington and Chelsea as their backdrop, during each performance seven actors and the audience will together peddle into the fantasy world of Alice, weaving their way through the park spaces and hidden corners of the borough as the story unfolds.
As Alice and the White Rabbit lead the way in this interactive theatrical cycling odyssey, audiences will be transported back to the 1930s with many twists and surprises throughout the specially adapted performance.
The two hour tour will start at Cremone Gardens, in Chelsea by the River Thames and reach its finale in Holland Park. Tickets cost just £8.00 adult and £4.00 per child and can be booked on the Bikeminded website: http://www.bikeminded.org/events/bike-tours/

Councillor Paget-Brown, Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea says:
“We are delighted to be bringing Alice in Wonderland to the streets and green spaces of Kensington and Chelsea this July with such a unique cycling tour. This is the first time, to our knowledge that Alice in Wonderland has ever been performed and experienced on bikes and therefore encourage as many of our residents as possible to be part of this unforgettable and one-off opportunity.”
Amelia De-Felice, Exquisite Folly Theatre Company says:
“We are very excited to be working with Bikeminded again, following the successful ghost cycling tour we hosted for them last October. To be given free-reign by Bikeminded to integrate theatre with cycling is very exciting. With the streets of the borough as our stage we can really let our imaginations run wild taking the audience into the realm of fantasy and give them a cycling experience they’ll never forget. And as our interpretation of Alice in Wonderland is set in the 1930s we’d love it if our audience felt inspired to dress up in costumes of that era for the tour!”
