Many private parties and corporate events<\/a> love theming parties<\/a> around two staples in particular \u2013 a Midsummer Night\u2019s dream and Alice in Wonderlands (Madhatters tea party). But with many other books available. We\u2019re looking into the wonderful world of Roald Dahl party ideas.<\/p>\n

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory<\/p>\n

What a wonderful party this would be! There is no doubt a brilliant opportunity for caterers to get imaginative and conjure up all sorts of delicious treats for guests it also presents a brilliant theme for entertainment as well. Why not hire dancers to be oompa loompas and you could also hire a magical act to truly make you feel as though you\u2019ve stepped into Willy Wonka\u2019s Chocolate Factory.<\/p>\n

Matilda<\/p>\n

The Natural History Museum\u2019s Hinze Hall would be a wonderful setting for a Roald Dahl themed party, certainly a large enough room for some of the magic that will undoubtedly take place as a Matilda event reaches its peak. A graffiti artist would be a wonderful addition (referencing the chalk-on-blackboard scene) whilst magicians would be an obvious addition to the occasion. Illusions on the stairs amongst Dippy the Dinosaur will surely be a must see! Just make sure you avoid Miss Trunchbull, the scariest of all costumed characters!!<\/p>\n

The BFG<\/p>\n

Imagine attending a party where everything is giant-sized! That’d certainly make Roald Dahl party games more fun! From the chairs made out of cotton reels to a scone the size of a table, this is sure to be a 2016 party theme to celebrate the release of the Steven Spielberg film! Wouldn\u2019t that be fun? Giant pencils and mugs can function as theming props whilst the BFG himself can lurk outside a window. But what of the entertainment? With some sneaky production, it\u2019d be possible to magnify the image of a band or circus act so that giants are really performing at your event!<\/p>\n

James and the Giant Peach<\/p>\n

Ok, perhaps not a real peach but for a James and the Giant Peach party, we think repurposing a circular venue such as the Royal Albert Hall, the London Planetarium or the Round House will be perfect. After that, we can then work on the entertainment. If it\u2019s fruit-themed ideas you\u2019re after, what about hiring a cocktail waiter that can shake up some alcoholic or non-alcoholic fruit cocktails?<\/p>\n

The Twits<\/p>\n

As any fan of The Twits will tell you, there are a number of moments in the story that stick out to a reader, not least the finale where The Twits believe they\u2019re upside down. As such, how about sticking everything to the ceiling of your venue and having an \u2018upside down\u2019 party? With bird pie on the menu (or not, as the case may be), various practical jokes provided by top comedians and magicians and a few costumed characters to play the titular characters, there is more than enough here to create a brilliant (albeit highly expensive and unsafe) event. But hey, The Twits themselves would probably enjoy it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
