Roald Dahl belongs to all of us and in 2016, all over Wales, he was found everywhere.


Roald Dahl was reintroduced to people of all ages in a way that allowed them to engage with his work using their own creativity and imagination. Thousands of people came to Cardiff on the 17 and 18 September 2016, to witness a 7-metre peach arriving, unannounced, in the City Centre a mischievous fox being chased by farmers, dodging their pitchforks with parkour, acrobatics and even a nail-biting tightrope walk and enjoy a great pyjama picnic in Bute Park. Plus, The Llandaff Society co-ordinated the unveiling of four plaques on buildings in Llandaff that have a historic association with Roald Dahl. Id like to pay tribute to the sheer inventiveness of the event organisers, librarians, teachers, writers and artists who all made sure that this was one of the most imaginative centenaries ever.
