Alice’s Day, the yearly city-wide celebration of all things Alice in Wonderland in Oxford, UK, will be held on Saturday 1 July 2023.
This year’s theme is ‘The Great Outdoors’.
As always, there is a full and varied programme, including theatre, puppetry, crafting, trails, dance, games, lectures and more.
