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! Or how about downloading our Elmer Day Celebration Pack. Filled with everything from colourful crafts and drama exercises to tips for a dreamy bedtime routine and ideas for activities that help children learn the importance of kindness-there are countless hours of enjoyment to be had.
