Roald Dahl lived and wrote his fabulous books for children and adults in Great Missenden. There is a children’s gallery in the Bucks county museum in Aylesbury and a story centre in Great Missenden. The story centre runs workshops events, free storytelling sessions and free craft activities. The children’s gallery is the only one of its kind in the world! You can explore sound with the BFG, dress up in Victorian clothes under the watchful eye of Miss Trunchball and ride in the Great Glass Elevator up to the Imagination Gallery.
