At the Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre we welcome all visitors and aim to do everything we can to make sure you have a buzzwangling time.
Our key accessible features:
  • The Museum galleries and Shop are all fully wheel – and push chair accessible, as we are a step-free site. One of our spaces (the Front Room) has a small step (we are a listed building and unable to change our layout) but a ramp is available for you to use. This room is usually used for additional seating for the pop-up café or for occasional events.
  • We have an upstairs picnic room and event space. You can reach this floor by a lift.
  • We have two fully accessible loos.
  • We have a manual wheelchair which you may borrow, though we do advise contacting us in advance to ensure it is available – please email hello@roalddahlmuseum.org or call 01494 892192.
  • Carers receive free admission. You can book these tickets online by using the ‘Free Carer Ticket’ option, or call us on 01494 892192.
  • We have a hearing loop and audio transcripts of audio visual presentations.
  • We have a baby change room as well as baby changing facilities for parents/carers in wheelchairs.
  • We have two free SEND explorer bags and a free quiet space kit. These are available for you to borrow from the ticket desk. Find out about our SEND explorer bags.
  • All staff have disability awareness training.
