Alice’s Day | Oxford
3 July, 2021
Free
A free family festival celebrating all things Wonderland.
This year we’re taking Alice outdoors, in giant puppet form! Look out for our brand new Alice puppet wandering the streets of Oxford, accompanied by some very chatty talking flowers inspired by the Looking-Glass Garden of Live Flowers!
Meanwhile Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee will be hosting an Unbirthday Party on Broad Street and the Red Queen will be demanding complete obedience from anyone who encounters her as she rides her Dodo about the streets. Expect much nonsense and mischief. Download the Alice’s Day Map and Guide or scroll through a digital version of the programme.
Join venues across Oxford including the Ashmolean, the Museum of the History of Science, Oxford Botanic Garden, Blackwell’s Bookshop, Alice’s Shop, Oxford Waterwalks and The Story Museum for a jam-packed fantastic family festival to celebrate one of literature’s – and Oxford’s – best loved story heroes.
Most events are free but due to the ongoing social distancing restrictions you may need to book so please check the programme information carefully.
