Roald Dahl’s much-loved tale Charlie and the Chocolate Factory comes to life at Kew Gardens for Easter 2014.
Get your Golden Ticket and join us in celebrating 50 whipple-scrumptious years of Charlie Bucket and Willy Wonka. Activities are brought to you in partnership with the Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre.
Looking for fun things to do with kids? Here are just a few of the Wonka inspired activities you’ll be able to take part in on your visit:
Create your own Willy Wonka-inspired chocolate bar
In the Chocolate Room you can get creative with a chef from the Roald Dahl Museum café to decorate your very own chocolatey creations. Take your inspiration from Roald Dahl, come up with an ingenious name for your chocolate bar and create a wacky label and package.
Sing along in the Inventing Room
Join Willy Wonka and his head Oompa-Loompa in the Inventing Room for songs and music. You will also be concocting wonderfully weird designs for chocolate bars and indulging in sweet-themed crafts. With your creative juices flowing, you just might come up with a brilliant recipe idea for a creation to top Willy Wonka’s everlasting gobstopper.
Go nuts in the Nut Room
Colouring-in and drawing are the focus in the Nut Room, near the Waterlily House – just beware of the mischievous squirrels...
Immerse yourself in Revolting Rhymes
If you are all crafted out, then head to the Television Room in the Princess of Wales Conservatory film room to sink into some beanbags and listen to Oompa-Loompa poems and Roald Dahl’s hilarious Revolting Rhymes as told by storytellers from the Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre.
And finally...
Join our traditional Easter Egg Hunt on Sunday 20 April 2013. You will collect tokens from around the Gardens to pick up your prize – a delicious chocolate treat from the Easter Bunny!
