Children in Oxford can have some creative fun in Wonderland - with the help of Oxford Museum.

The museum is running a series of workshops on its exhibition Looking For Alice, which features items belonging to Alice Liddell, the real-life inspiration for Lewis Carroll's Alice books.

Julia Brosi, six, made a Wonderland in a shoe box at a workshop last week The workshops, which will explain Alice's adventures, will take place from 2pm to 3.30pm at the Museum, off St Aldate's, and participants will also be able to visit the exhibition.

The workshops are for children up to the age of 12. Children below the age of seven must be accompanied by an adult.

Alice's adventures are themed through the workshops with storytelling and book-making kicking off the series on Tuesday.

Thursday will be the day for making magnificent masks. On Tuesday, August 21, the wraps will be taken off Alice's novelty notebook. Making magical moving pictures will be the task on Thursday, August 23.

Children aged seven and above will be putting together Alice's peep-in book on Tuesday, August 28.

Finally, on Thursday, August 30, the workshop heads off down the rabbit hole - making Wonderland in a shoebox.

Natalie Chambers, the museum's education officer, said: "This is a great chance for young people to have some fun, whatever the weather.

"As well as making their own artistic creations to take home, young people will be able to discover more about Alice herself."

Each session costs £2.50 per child, including free entry to the exhibition.
