Play, Discover, Learn at Discover Bucks Museum this February Half Term

Discover Bucks Museum is just on your doorstep and only a short walk from Market Square in the historic part of Aylesbury around St Mary’s Church. The museum is home to the famous Roald Dahl Children’s Gallery, a space bursting with interactive displays and engaging activities inspired by Roald Dahl’s wonderful stories that encourage learning through play.

Children can step inside the Giant Peach, explore sound with the BFG and crawl through Fantastic Mr Fox’s tunnel. They can appear in their own drawings on TV and even freeze their own shadows!

Come along and explore for yourselves.
