The Elmer Adventure

About The Elmer Adventure

Age 3+

Elmer is not elephant colour – Elmer is patchwork

Join three friends on a joyful jungle adventure in Tall Stories’ magical, musical adaptation of the much-loved Elmer books by David McKee.

Everyone loves the stories about Elmer the patchwork elephant – whether he’s pretending to be an ordinary grey elephant or playing a practical joke. But has anyone ever actually seen him?

Can you help find him? Is that a patchwork trunk hidden among the trees and bushes of the jungle?

The enchanting and colourful world of Elmer is brought to life through songs, storytelling and puppetry by Tall Stories, the company who brought you The Gruffalo and Room on the Broom live on stage – for everyone aged 3 and up.

Celebrate Elmer’s unique patchwork colours and wear all your colourful clothes when you see the show.

“Tall Stories sets the benchmark for children’s theatre.” The Sunday Times

“An absolute delight” ***** The Scotsman (The Gruffalo)

“Irresistibly charming” **** The Times (The Gruffalo)

“A truly theatrical feast” ***** The List (Room on the Broom)

“A high-energy treat” **** The Sunday Times (Room on the Broom)
