ALICE IN WONDERLAND // 6-7 APR
THIS IS PSYCHEDELIA // 7 APR
After last year's first ever Psychedelic Festival, the co-founders of Lewes
Psychedelic Festival return to Folkestone for a second year bringing
you a spectrum of creative artists all under the umbrella term of the
sonic worlds of psychedelia. Featuring five profiled psych artists covering
a cross of genres with visuals turning the venue into a warm, light-
projected womb. The lineup includes Canterbury’s Dreamweaver, with
their dreamy lo-fi pop diluted with a heavy dose of psych; east London's
art-wave collective Snapped Ankles, who draw on the power and groove
of krautrock and post punk; rare psych gem, Cobalt Chapel who meld
folk and vintage organ; Flamingods, a multi-instrumental, multicultural
four piece who combine dance, psych and folk into beguiling
psychedelic wig-outs; and much-loved cult Malmo trio, Death and
Vanilla with their eerie, haunting ambient-noir pop.
6.30pm. Price: £17.50 (£21.50 on the door)

The producers of their smash-hit Christmas pantomimes return to the
Theatre Royal for another HARE-larious spring production! You'd be
as mad as a hatter to miss it. Join Alice as she takes a tumble down the
rabbit hole into the wonderful world of Wonderland! Grin along like a
pack of Cheshire cats as you go on an epic adventure meeting zany
new friends along the way. You’re invited to join the fun of the Mad
Hatter’s tea party, assist a White Rabbit with his timekeeping and help
Alice stay one step ahead of the treacherous Queen of Hearts… The
hilarious Tom Swift returns to play White Rabbit, alongside the side-
splitting Ant Payne as Mad Hatter and Margate's very own Georgia
Rowland-Elliott as Alice.
