Description
This great little family-friendly Museum has two fun and fact-packed biographical galleries and a fantabulous Story Centre. In Boy and Solo galleries, visitors can delve into Dahl’s archive on touch-screen monitors and learn about the events and experiences that shaped him as a writer. Get creative with plot, character and words in the Story Centre with the hands-on displays and pick up writing tips from Dahl and other top writers.
Explore a replica of Dahl’s famous Writing Hut, sit in his writing chair and get some gloriumptious story ideas. In the school holidays and at weekends, Miss Honey’s Classroom offers workshops about everything from chocolate to comic strips (see website for full listings; additional charges may apply). Holiday and weekend visitors are also offered free storytelling sessions or the chance to get arty doing free craft activities.
The Museum Shop is a treasure trove of Dahl-related merchandise: books, toys, quirky gifts and pocket-money items. Café Twit serves a delumptious family-friendly range of sandwiches, jacket potatoes and home-made cakes and cookies.
