Elmer is not elephant colour... Elmer is patchwork!

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

Searching for a mysterious patchwork elephant, our adventurers transform their jungle campsite into a festive storytelling world. Three classic Elmer tales burst into life with toe-tapping tunes, playful puppetry and happy humour – and a few surprises along the way!

A celebration of uniqueness, family and fun, this feel good show for everyone aged 3 to 103 is presented by Tall Stories, the company that brought you The Gruffalo live on stage.

The Elmer Adventure features three classic David McKee stories – Elmer, Elmer and the Tune and Elmer and the Hippos.

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