Roald Dahl Day 2018

How will you celebrate Roald Dahl Day at your school?

Every year, thousands of schools around the world watch the Roald Dahl Day show! Make sure you don’t miss the official Roald Dahl Day Show! In just thirty minutes your pupils will learn all about Roald Dahl’s writing secrets so they can start their own stories.

Find out how awesome authors like Adrian Edmondson were inspired by Roald Dahl’s writing and prepare to be astonished by treasures from the Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre and the Natural History Museum.

What to expect on show day:

Have pencils and paper ready for Quentin Blake’s drawing challenge – he has sent a series of photographs for pupils to follow and instructions which will be read out by the presenter, Ed Petrie.
