Alice's Day 2010

Oxford, Saturday July 10th

The Story Museum is proud to coordinate Alice’s Day, a frabjous day of family fun, in more than a dozen world-class venues. Oxford turns into Wonderland to celebrate the first telling of Alice's adventures, an important story happening for children and children’s literature.

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland have been Alice logo by Nick Sharrattportrayed in many ways and many styles, from books to the big screen, from the original Tenniel illustrations to Tim Burton’s new film, as music or on stage. Alice's Day 2010 explores some of these interpretations when more than a dozen venues in Oxford will host exhibitions and activities for children and adults across the city. The full programme will be published here as more information becomes available. For a taster of previous Alice events click here, or go to our Alice picture gallery.

This year we welcome the popular Curious Company back to Oxford with their flamboyant outdoor theatre. Expect colourful treats and surprises!

There will be events to interest the grown ups too, from talks to walks and exhibitions.
