This is one of a set of traditional hides that works in conjunction with the “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” Adventure Labcaches. The five stages for the Adventure Labcache are in Daresbury and at the parsonage where Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) was born. As there locations are a couple of miles apart, these hides fill the gap between the two.
Chapter Six – Pig and Pepper: A fish-footman has an invitation for the Duchess of the house, which he delivers to a frog-footman. Alice observes this transaction and, after a perplexing conversation with the frog, lets herself into the house. The Duchess's cook is throwing dishes and making a soup that has too much pepper, which causes Alice, the Duchess, and her baby (but not the cook or grinning Cheshire Cat) to sneeze violently. Alice is given the baby by the Duchess and, to Alice's surprise, the baby turns into a pig. The Cheshire Cat appears in a tree, directing her to the March Hare's house. He disappears but his grin remains behind to float on its own in the air prompting Alice to remark that she has often seen a cat without a grin but never a grin without a cat.
