Thousands of people enjoyed a series of Wonderland-themed events around Oxford as the city took to the streets to celebrate Alice's Day on Saturday, July 10.
Attractions ranged from a Mad Hatter's cabaret tea party outside the Natural History Museum, to Snark Hunting in the Botanic Gardens and a Jabberwocky Celebration at Blackwell's bookshop. Other highlights included an exhibition of Salvador Dali's Alice in Wonderland illustrations, and a specially written play and concert.
The third Alice's Day held in the city celebrates the famous boat trip when Charles Dodgson, otherwise known as Lewis Carroll, rowed up the River Thames and first told the story of Alice in Wonderland to Alice Liddell.
The day was coordinated by the Story Museum. Organiser Esther Browning said: "It was a brillig day and we had high turnout, helped by the sunny weather. Alice's Day has become a popular annual addition to Oxford's event calendar and shows how Lewis Carroll's story reaches out to everyone, young and old."
