LEWIS CARROLL’S ALICE IN WONDERLAND

Returns from 27 March – 12 April 2026, Riverside Studios, Hammersmith W6

Welcome to Wonderland. This iconic family favourite brings Lewis Carroll’s delightful chaos to life with enchanting puppets and a kaleidoscope of colourful sets and costumes, promising to transport audiences into the fantastical world of Wonderland. This adaptation of the much-loved classic swept London families down the rabbit hole for the first time last summer and is now returning for the Easter holidays, captivating audiences of all ages.

Tumble down the rabbit hole into the fantastical world of Wonderland, where up is down, and nonsense reigns supreme. Join Alice

on her unforgettable adventure as she shrinks and grows, meeting peculiar characters at every turn. Who will she encounter next? Will the mischievous Cheshire Cat guide her through the madness? Can the hurried White Rabbit help her uncover the secrets she’s searching for? And could the Queen of Hearts cause her to truly lose her head?

With creative stagecraft that will leave you spellbound, this visually breathtaking experience is a “must-see” for families seeking an enchanting escape. The show follows sold out runs across Australia and the UK premiere last summer. Adapted by Penny Farrow, produced by Dem Products and Ethan Walker and directed and designed by Nate Bertone - a New York City–based director, designer, playwright, and producer whose work has been seen around the globe.

The pregnancy supportwear that’s making women refuse to just ‘put up with it’

READER OFFER: SAVE 20%

For generations, back pain, pelvic pressure, and discomfort during pregnancy have been treated as an unavoidable rite of passage. Hugup –the Italian-crafted pregnancy supportwear brand – is challenging that assumption with clinical evidence, expert design, and a product that’s rapidly gaining recognition across the UK and beyond.

When physiotherapists, obstetricians, and pregnancy yoga practitioners come together to design a product, the result tends to be rather different from the typical maternity support belt. Hugup is that product. Manufactured using progressive 3D-knitting technology and premium sustainable yarns, it’s being described by healthcare professionals and mothers alike as a genuine stepchange in pregnancy comfort.

Unlike conventional belly bands, which apply basic compression around the abdomen, Hugup works by lifting the weight of a growing bump directly off the pelvis and redistributing it across the upper back – mirroring the body’s own biomechanical needs. The result is clinically proven relief from lower back pain, improved posture,

and better gait. Wearers report not just feeling supported, but feeling – in the brand’s own words – “snatched and supported.”

“Hugup surprised me with its lightness and how practically unnoticeable it feels,” says Aggie, a mother and doctor. “It gives a sense of the body being embraced and can help pregnant women feel freer during physical activity.” That sentiment is echoed across a growing community of users, from first-time mothers to those managing chronic conditions such as symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD).

Featured in Forbes Women, The Parent Edit, and The Baby Show, and endorsed by leading maternity healthcare professionals, Hugup is fast becoming the gold standard in pregnancy support. Its bespoke fitting service ensures each woman receives a product calibrated to her individual needs – a level of care that speaks to the brand’s core conviction: that comfort during pregnancy isn’t a luxury. It’s a right.

For expectant mothers ready to refuse discomfort as an inevitability, Hugup is quite literally – as the brand puts it – there to have your back.

FINDING THE RIGHT NANNY IS ABOUT MORE THAN A CV

Many parents begin their nanny search believing qualifications alone will guarantee success. Yet I often meet families who feel exhausted after placements that looked perfect on paper but never quite worked in reality. The truth is that successful childcare depends on connection just as much as experience.

This understanding led me to co found Nanny’s Intuition, a holistic nanny agency that aligns discerning families with accomplished nannies with a hub of wellness professionals. is designed to make the process feel supportive rather than stressful. With over twenty five years of working directly with families across London, I have seen how the right nanny can transform both everyday life and the overall dynamics of a family.

One parent recently told me that before finding their nanny, mornings felt heavy, chaotic, stressful,

“A holistic nanny agency that aligns discerning families with accomplished nannies with a hub of wellness professionals is designed to make the process feel supportive rather than stressful”

overwhelming, and filled with dread. Within weeks of the right match, their home felt calmer and more organised, routines ran smoothly, and quality time with their preschooler improved significantly. Their child became happier and more communicative, and the parents were finally able to focus at work without worry.

My background includes nannying, nursery ownership, and recognition as runner up in the nationwide Nanny of the Year awards, alongside being featured in The Times. These experiences allow me to understand both sides of the relationship, what families truly need and what enables nannies to thrive over the long term.

We take time to learn the small but important details, whether a child is sensitive to change, whether parents prefer a structured routine or a creative play led environment, whether personalities are more introverted or extroverted, and whether discretion and flexibility are essential due to demanding professional lives. These insights, alongside our extensive vetting processes and the use of professional intuition, allow us to create placements built to last.

Parents frequently say the greatest gift of the right nanny is trust, which brings genuine peace of mind, knowing their child is safe, understood, and supported even when they cannot be there themselves.

For me, this work is deeply personal. Nanny’s Intuition exists to help families feel confident in one of the most important decisions they will ever make, creating partnerships that support not only children’s development but the wellbeing of the entire family.

For active days, it is a breathable base layer that feels lighter than many synthetic blends, especially when you are wearing Lycra for hours.

Presented in a monogrammed luxury box that is

ready to gift, or to keep for yourself, because everyday essentials should still feel special. It is the little things that make a difference, whether you are building a better basics drawer, packing for travel, or choosing something that works under occasion wear.
