Swashboggling Signed Stories

Celebrating Disabled Access Day

Head to the Museum on Sunday 12 March for BSL-signed stories and talks, and try out our revolutionary sign language app, Signly.

 Join in with signed storytelling from Roald Dahl’s Revolting Rhymes at 11.30am, 12.30pm and 1.30pm, 2.30pm and 3.30pm. The sessions are free with Museum entry and suitable for anyone to attend whether deaf or hearing. There’s no need to book and visitors can attend as many sessions as they like.

The Museum will also be welcoming some furry friends from Hearing Dogs for Deaf People throughout the day.

You may also like to try out the Museum’s sign language app, Signly. You can download the app before your visit (or while at the Museum using the free WiFi), and use it to unlock filmed BSL-signed information around the galleries by scanning QR codes. There are over 20 Signly points around the Museum - it’s like having your own interpreter in your pocket.

 For further information please contact Isabelle Reynolds isabelle@roalddahlmuseum.org  at the Museum on 01494 892192.
