Join us for some splendiferous BSL interpreted walks and storytelling

Enjoy BSL interpreted storytelling from George’s Marvellous Medicine. This energetic rendition will cause a stir as you discover the secret medicine George is making for his Grandma. There’ll be actions and props thrown into the mix as well as some very special illustrations used in the 1985 Jackanory episode of the book. This session will be read by a Museum storyteller and BSL interpreted by Helen who is BSL Level 6 qualified.

At 11am

Head off on a BSL interpreted Marvellous Meander. Walk around the very village that inspired so many of Roald Dahl’s stories. Inspired by the magical mixture and all the animals in George’s Marvellous Medicine you’ll discover some of the secrets behind the stories. Enjoy energetic readings from the George’s Marvellous Medicine and other Roald Dahl books as you go, delivered by trained actor, Michael. This walk will be BSL interpreted by Helen who is BSL Level 6 qualified.
