The Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre
About
The Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre in Great Missenden invites visitors of all ages to step into the world of the celebrated author. Set in the poet’s former home, the museum’s interactive galleries showcase original manuscripts, drawings, and personal artefacts that illuminate Dahl’s creative process and the stories that made him a household name. Regular events, such as online talks and workshops, add a dynamic layer to the experience. The venue offers free admission to the main galleries, ensuring everyone can explore the collection, while special programmes—such as the *Licence to Write* talk about Dahl’s contribution to James Bond—may require a small fee and advance booking. A welcoming environment, spacious walk‑through exhibits, and a dedicated children’s zone make it an ideal stop for families, literature enthusiasts, and school groups alike.
