Book todayEmbrace the Christmas season on a guided Roald Dahl countryside walk
Wrap up warm and head out into the woods. On the way you’ll listen to extracts from Roald Dahl’s My Year and other stories set in the local landscape that inspired the books.
This month we’ll be reading extracts from the December chapter of My Year, Roald Dahl’s last book. You’ll learn about Roald Dahl’s take on the changing seasons, with a few seasonal extracts thrown in. You’ll also find out about one of the tricks Roald Dahl played one Christmas as a schoolboy. Once you’re in the woods we’ll read from some other classics such as Fantastic Mr Fox. A great way to get out and stretch your legs before the excitement of Christmas.
For age 5 and over.
