The Museum is the perfect place to see the writing process in action by one of its masters. Pupils will discover how they can use the same techniques themselves and find out more about Roald Dahl's life while exploring the fun, interactive galleries in a facilitated session.

There are a range of exciting sessions for Years 2-4 and Years 5-8 around themes such as crafting characters, editing and redrafting and unlocking ideas and inspiration. There are two types of session: galleries-based and archive-based. Both types are based around a key literacy area which will be the focus throughout your visit.

These sessions last 90 minutes and are suitable for up to 32 pupils. They begin at 10am or 12.30pm.

Archive-based sessions - £240

• Terrific Teacher Golden Tickets to gain free entry to the Museum in order to carry out your risk assessment in advance of your trip
