This great little award-winning Museum is aimed at 6 to 12 year olds and their families and is situated in Great Missenden where Roald Dahl lived and wrote for 36 years. The Museum has three fun and fact-packed interactive galleries. Boy Gallery focuses on Roald Dahl’s school days. Solo Gallery features his original Writing Hut. The Story Centre offers all sorts of fantabulous creative displays and activities to get involved with. In the school holidays and at weekends, an exciting range of workshops, events and free storytelling sessions take place. Free craft activities are always on offer, while the Village and Countryside Trails lead intrepid visitors around Great Missenden to see the places that inspired Roald Dahl and feature in the stories.

Lots of fun and great step free access - Highly recommend

The Roald Dahl Museum is extremely accessible and explores the life story and writing of Roald Dahl in a very fun, family friendly and interactive style. It focuses on his children's stories, so is very child focused, but also perfect for adults who enjoy the stories and who want to find out more about Roald's own fascinating and extraordinary life. The Museum is on the High Street in the village of Great Missenden and is a short 3 - 5 minute walk from the train station. Please note the Museum is a former coaching inn and not the former home of Roald Dahl. Also the museum is quite small, however it's stuff with fabulous things to see and do in its 3 galleries. My favourite was seeing Roald Dahl's Writing Hut, and finding out that Roald also had lower back pain like me. Also highly recommend visiting the Archives, having the opportunity to hold and read one of Roald's many school boy letters to his family and see original drafts of some of his most famous stories, makes the visit very special and very lovely.
