My daughter had an amazing birthday party early this year. The lady in charge of events went above and beyond to make it the best birthday party ever. The children had a lot of fun and they enjoyed exploring the museum and boogie in the separate event room after. I highly recommend for all Roald Dahl enthusiasts.

I could not be happier with our experience at The Roald Dahl Gallery! We had a little bit of trouble getting here as we don’t live near. When I rang the Roald Dahl Gallery and explained the situation (Sam) Was very polite and understanding on the phone and happily still showed us around when the gallery closed. I came here with a 6 year old boy (Wilf) who has autism and also non-verbal. The support they give him when we walked in was brilliant. They have sensory bags which provide sensory toys and headphones and more. The engagement and communication Sam gave to him was so lovely even if he didn’t get a response. Sam Chose to stay behind to show Wilf around ,let alone he didn’t have to as it was closing time. I couldn’t be more happier with the experience we had and how lovely staff are here. I really recommend this for anyone. Sam really made our day and showed a lot of loving and support. Thank you Sam!!

We visited on Monday 3rd Feb with my daughters school as part of a class of 30 children. This place is fantastic and the hospitality we received was incredible. Ceri is absolutely fantastic! We found her super enthusiastic and thoroughly entertaining; even us adult helpers got stuck in with all the activities ! The whole team made us feel very welcome and we learned loads of hidden gems about Roald Dahl. Highly recommend for old and young alike.

Visited with young family. Lovely welcome from informative and pleasant staff. Roald Dahl museum was lovely with loads of hands on and interesting things for children to investigate. We paid at the door. Went on to the museum which is situated in the same area but a different building. Lots of interesting information. There was a Star Wars Exhibition, Children's dressing up, a lovely embroidery exhibition, some interactive exhibitions and a lovely playroom for the children, full of toys to play with and explore. Very enjoyable .

Nice little place and little being the main word here, can literally walk through in 5-10 minutes. Was worth going but can't say I'd be going again, some items not working so can't interact with them and just seems a bit run down with items missing ect
