Food stalls
There are pop-up food stalls in the courtyard during the summer holidays and October half-term. Details will be posted on the Museum Facebook page so keep an eye out!
Getting to the Museum
Great Missenden is a village at the heart of the Buckinghamshire countryside, situated about twenty miles northwest of London, easily accessible by rail and road links.
Storytelling and workshops
You can join in with storytelling sessions every day in the school holidays and on most weekend days. These sessions are brilliant fun and free to join! There are also various activities and workshops throughout the year - please keep an eye on the Museum Facebook page for details.
Please Gift Aid your tickets
There's no additional cost to you but it allows the Museum to claim the tax from the Government. As an independent charity, your tickets help maintain the Museum, support schools programmes and preserve the Roald Dahl archive for everyone. Thank you.
Everyone welcome
The Museum aims to make visits easy and welcoming for everyone. The Museum is mainly on the ground floor with step-free access. There are some rooms upstairs but these can be accessed by a lift. There are two accessible loos and a nappy change.
Hearing loops are installed by the tills and there is a bespoke BSL smartphone app called Signly.
