Oxford: Chris Riddell talk (11AM UK time)
As the title says, the centerpiece of this year's virtual celebrations is a talk and live drawing with illustrator Chris Riddell who has just illustrated Alice's adventures in Wonderland (book out in October)
Oxford: Photo competition
If you have younger family members, why not have them recreate a scene from Carroll's books? Both fancy dress and scene recreations are encouraged. The hashtag is #picturethis and #alice'sday

For Portuguese language speakers: Carrollsday stream on Instagram
Carrollsday is the annual celebration of Lewis Carroll's work, created by artist Beatriz Mom in 2012. This year will have a 14 hour stream on Instagram!
Other things to do..
- Play a carroll themed music playlist in celebration! Here's mine. You can easily come up with your own if you want!
- Watch a carroll inspired film or an adaptation of Carroll's books! Plenty exists to suit all tastes. (Please note: due to outdated research reasons, it might be best to leave Dreamchild (1985) and Alice (1965) at the door...)
- Maybe cook a few Carroll inspired treats, such as these recipes from Macmillan Publishers?
