Wonderland 2027 Signing & Ball

🖤 Welcome to Wonderland 2027... Where Madness Awaits. 🖤

The story is far from over, and Wonderland has taken a darker turn.

Alice has taken a step too far and discovered the darker side of Wonderland. Join her by turning the page into a realm where beauty and darkness entwine, where forgotten stories come to life beneath towering twisted trees and crimson roses, and every path leads deeper into darkness.

Meet your favourite authors, uncover new voices, and have your books signed as you wander through our rooms of authors and vendors, at this unforgettable multi-genre book signing and ball.

Will you survive the Wonderland Challenge? Solve twisted riddles, complete mysterious tasks, and earn your chance to win prizes worth over £100—if the Dark Queen allows it. Venture into the gardens, where even the games have a mischievous twist.

As darkness descends, enter the dark side and accept your invitation to the Dark Queen's Ball. Indulge in a decadent three-course meal before dancing beneath the shadows, where the music never truly ends and every guest has a story to tell... if they ever leave Wonderland.
