Step into the joyful, imaginative worlds of David McKee as Elmer and Friends.

Celebrating over 35 years of Elmer the patchwork elephant and his unforgettable friends, this free family friendly exhibition brings to life McKee’s iconic stories through immersive, multi sensory displays and a range of summer holiday events and activities.

Discover never-before-seen artwork, dress up in the Mr Benn costume shop, and capture the perfect photo with a giant Elmer jigsaw. From Not Now, Bernard to King Rollo, visitors of all ages can explore the colour, creativity, and gentle humour of McKee’s world.
