Royal Ballet and Opera Cinema Season: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
Tumble down the rabbit hole in this ballet adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s famous family story.
Join us for a live screening of Christopher Wheeldon’s unique theatrical interpretation direct from the Royal Opera House.
At a garden party on a sunny afternoon, Alice is surprised to see her parents’ friend Lewis Carroll transform into a white rabbit. When she follows him down a rabbit hole, events become curiouser and curiouser…
As Alice journeys through Wonderland, she encounters countless strange creatures. She’s swept off her feet by the charming Knave of Hearts, who’s on the run for stealing the tarts. Confusion piles upon confusion. Then Alice wakes with a start. Was it all a daydream?

Hundred Watt Club - A Burlesque and Cabaret Spooktacular Speakeasy!
Back at Norden Farm by popular demand, Hundred Watt Club invites you to peek inside their cabinet of curiosities and celebrate Halloween with an evening of bizarre burlesque, queer cabaret and sublime circus entertainment.
Expect spinetingling striptease, madcap comedy, dizzying circus stunts and all manner of cabaret tomfoolery. You’ll never be the same after a glimpse into this topsy turvy world. Expect the unexpected, but come prepared for an unforgettable night of tongue in cheek, glamourous, grown-up fun!
Hundred Watt Club are proud to be one of the longest running burlesque revues in the UK.
The lowdown: not for the fainthearted, this show employs and embraces adult themes, strong language and partial nudity with gusto. Glamorous, vintage attire is encouraged (we love it when you dress up!) but not enforced; wear what you’re comfy in.
‘Old school mischief and timeless raunchiness collide at the Hundred Watt Club. Hats – and corsets – off to Lena Mae for an excellent night of entertainment’ Sussex Express
‘Harking back to the gin drenched halcyon days of a grimy Berlin nightclub in the 1930s, Hundred Watt Club sparkles, fizzles and shines brightly on a dark night’ Fringereview.co.uk
‘Righteous, radical…an absolute riot!’ Mardigrasmag.co.uk
Over 18s only

Haven't Stopped Dancing Yet
Haven’t Stopped Dancing Yet! put on fabulous, feelgood 70s and 80s disco nights for grown-ups at venues across London and the South East - and we’re delighted to welcome them back again after a funk-tastic sell out night here last year.
HSDY nights are recommended by everyone from Time Out and The Guardian to Stylist and Radio 4 and they have been described as 'Abba collides with Saturday Night Fever in a glorious mash up'.
DJ Lady G will be on the decks playing all your favourite soul, funk and disco tunes. Dancer Lady Boo will be showing you the moves to everything from Car Wash (complete with shiny rags) and Hey Mickey, to the 1979 Gonzales hit, Haven’t Stopped Dancing Yet, after which HSDY take their name.
If you fancy dressing up (it’s not obligatory, but lots do) there are prizes for the best retro outfits, and free sweets and ice pops too.
In the words of Shalamar, it’s going to be 'a night to remember!'
10% profits from HSDY nights go to Cancer Research UK
Party the night away until 12am - with our Cafe Bar also open serving drinks until then!
