Jumpsquiffling June events


A jumpsquiffling June half-term 'There is so much beauty in the countryside in June. The lovely pink dogroses are in full bloom along the hedges and wild honeysuckle is plentiful.' Roald Dahl, My Year We’re celebrating Roald Dahl's love of nature here at the Museum, where a whoppsy-whiffling array of half-term events awaits. Join us to make a magical Minpin tree-house, or an Enormous Crocodile puppet. If music is more your thing, follow the buzzyhum to James Carter's workshop for a beastly hour of wild guitar music and rhymes that roar! If all that isn't green enough for you, you can pick up our new self-guided Countryside Trail and walk in Roald Dahl's steps to explore the lovely countryside around Great Missenden.
Grubtown Tales	Upcoming:
On Bank Holiday Monday 31 May, we’re thrilled to be welcoming the highly-acclaimed Roald Dahl Funny Prize winning author Philip Ardagh, who will be sharing some of his hilarious and decidedly daft Grubtown Tales with visitors aged 8+. There’ll be a chance to make a wearable Grubtown beard (to rival Beardy Ardagh’s own fine specimen) and a classic Grubtown Quackling Duck. We expect this event to fill up fast so please call us and book early to avoid disappointment: 01494 892192. Visit the new Grubtown website and enter the story writing competition for a chance to win a school visit from Philip. Further information.

Wychwood Festival – last chance!
Last chance to book for the fantabulous family-friendly Wychwood Festival in Cheltenham from 4 to 6 June. We’ll be there telling stories, making zoetrope animations and looking for help to create flags and masks for the Festival Parade. Visit the Wychwood Festival website to see the whole lickswishy line-up of music, comedy and workshops and to book tickets.
Family Fun at Gipsy House
Visit Roald Dahl’s magical garden on Saturday 19 June in Great Missenden for a traditional fête with readings of Roald Dahl’s stories by author Hal Iggulden, a magic show, a barbershop quartet, morris men and more. Refreshments will be available. Further information.
Matilda at the RSC
We’re positively swishfiggling with excitement about the Royal Shakespeare Company’s forthcoming musical production of Roald Dahl’s *Matilda*. It’s a brand new, hilarious adaptation by Dennis Kelly with songs by composer and comedian Tim Minchin. The show will run in Stratford from 9 November 2010 to 30 January 2011, but you can book now on 0844 800 1110. Visit the ‘Matilda, A Musical’ website which has lots of information, fun and games.
