Alice Dreams was a Brighton-based shop specialising in Alice in Wonderland memorabilia, but also selling other similar merchandise. The shop was on Middle Street, in/by The Lanes, and then opened a second shop in North Laine, and closed the original.

The shop was a unique member of Brighton's community of small specialist shops, and it was a real shame to see it go.

The newer shop at 38 Gardner Street (BN1 1UN) opened on 23 September 2011 (info from Facebook)
