Barking and Dagenham ballet fans can grab cheap seats for Alice in Wonderland.

The Royal Opera House has 200 tickets on offer for its special welcome performance of Lewis Carroll’s children’s classic.

The Cheshire Cat, croquet and playing cards collide when Alice takes a surreal journey down the rabbit hole.

Doors will open at 10.30am with a whole host of activities taking place throughout the building in Bow Street, Covent Garden, before the main show at 1.30pm.

Organisers say the day is set to be a truly unique experience for young and old.

The event takes place on Saturday, October 21. Tickets are £5 and £10, with priority for those who have never been to the Opera House before.

To book, call 020 8594 7136 and state your full name, postcode, phone number and email address, the number of tickets you would like to book and at which price.
