the Caucus Race
Sunday 8 July, 10am - 2pm
A joyous, participatory re-enactment of the Caucus Race episode from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland – with dance, music and unexpected happenings.
Everybody will be able to join in and everyone will be a winner at this madcap 'sporting' event with a difference.
Expect Alice characters - including of course, the Dodo. The Caucus Race will be held on historic Merton Field, part of Christ Church Meadow. Christ Church was home to Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) and Alice Liddell (the real Alice).
Supported by Arts Council England's Grants for the Arts programme, in collaboration with Big Dance.
Tea with Alice
July/August 2012
The Alice books have been translated into 125 languages and interpreted by countless illustrators, artists and designers. This international exhibition will show how Carroll's famous stories have inspired images across the world.
Specially curated for The Story Museum and supported by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation.
