Bring your group to the Roald Dahl Museum. Cubs, Beavers, Guides, Brownies & Rainbows are always welcome!

A visit to the Museum not only provides a great day out for your group, but can help them work towards their badges. We offer group visits all year round and offer a 10% discount on admission for groups with 10 or more paying tickets if paid for 14 days in advance of your visit.

Your group can explore the galleries, try out hands-on activities, see Dahl’s famous Writing Hut and explore the village and countryside that inspired the stories.
