Family Days Out In Kent

The Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre

The Museum Situated in the village where Roald Dahl lived and wrote for 36 years, the Museum was created as a home for the author's unique archive and to inspire a love of stories and creative writing in all our visitors. You can see our list of fantabulous events and activities in the What's on section, including special archive tours.

Visit length Visitors usually stay for between one hour and 90 minutes though many stay longer, particularly if they join in one of our activities or enjoy a snack in our café.
