Take a peek behind the scenes

Join our Collections Manager, Will, as he shows you some of the highlights of Roald Dahl’s archive. You’ll get to step behind the scenes of the Museum and peek at the boxes of treasures we look after.

Will will tell you about some of the secrets behind the stories and characters that you know and love. Take a peek at the BFG’s sandal and find out about the first draft of Matilda – where she was very different to how she was in the finished book!

This event is great for children aged 8 and up, and perfect for any Roald Dahl super-fans!

Everyone who attends must pay for a space, under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.
