Roald Dahl Festival

Step into the world of George and the Secret Potion during the Roald Dahl Festival this Christmas holiday.

Roald Dahl has written many stories for children. They are funny, strange, unpredictable, and delightfully creepy — a joy to read! Full of imagination and extraordinary events, these stories are loved by young and old alike, and everyone has at some point read a book or seen a film adaptation.

The Roald Dahl Festival takes place on Sunday 28, Monday 29, and Tuesday 30 December. This year, the festival is themed around George and the Secret Potion.

Gooey Concoctions & Bubbling Experiments
Awful, unbearable, and terribly annoying. Welcome to the home of George and his dreadful grandmother! Boring, dull, dullest — that’s George’s grandmother. Until George tries out his crazy potion on her and everyone around him. Colossal chickens, a gigantic grandmother — it’s all just too much fun! Get hands-on with potions, baked treats, or craft something magical in the various workshops. Or let yourself be amazed by the fantastic films and performances. Scroll down for the full program.
