Event Description:

Join us for an immersive family walk with homemade cake and speciality tea and coffee on your return.

Treat the family to a walk in the woods, with cake and coffee after! The perfect activity for kids and adults alike. Head off into the woods that inspired so many of the stories with your storytelling guide, Michael. The perfect seasonal treat for the Christmas holidays.

You’ll explore the woods that inspired Roald Dahl’s last book for children, Billy and the Minpins. Explore the scenery in winter, look for the Minpins in the trees and listen to extracts from the story — one of Roald Dahl’s most magical.

“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t in magic will never find it.”

Afterward you’ll head back to the Museum for refreshments that include your choice of homemade cake and hot or cold drink* from our lovely local suppliers.

At 11.30am and 2pm

For age 6 and over.

£11 per person plus Museum entry

*£1.50 supplement for hot chocolate or milkshakes, payable on the day

Food and drink

You choice of refreshments will come from The Filling-Station at the Museum. Our hot drinks and cakes are all from specially selected local producers.
