Oxfordshire (Oxen)

received a £150,000 grant from the Millennium Commission. The Through the Looking Glass event will be held on July 1, 2000, at South Park, Oxford.

Three dimensional icons, internally lit by candles, will be carried in a procession through the park towards a central stage. The finale will involve 2,000 schoolchildren, a massed choir of 1,000 voices and a specially-commissioned music score by Oxford composer Nick Bicat.

There are also separate plans for the centre of Oxford to be closed for a 24-hour festival. Chris Cowley, Oxford Mail editor and director of Oxfordshire 2000, launched the Oxfordshire 2000 website at the event. Bringing along a pewter time capsule, he said: "It is a legacy – people can put whatever they like into this and bury it in the grounds for future generations and that is really the theme for why we are creating our Oxfordshire 2000 ."
