Celebrate Elmer as a LGBTQ+ icon at The Novium Museum before heading off to enjoy Chichester Pride (you'll need to book tickets for Pride separately, via the Chichester Pride website).We're hosting a special pre-Pride parade drop-in event for families, with fun and colourful face painting (£3 per child). There's no need to book in advance for this event.
This event is part of The Novium Museum's Elmer Day programme - a colourful celebration of one of the best-loved storybook characters of the last 40 years.
Elmer Day is also a chance to come together to celebrate the themes at the heart of all 30 Elmer books created by David McKee: friendship, kindness and inclusivity.
With the annual Chichester Pride event taking place in the city the same day, Elmer Day feels like a fitting extra celebration of being yourself. In fact, The Guardian described Elmer as an LGBTQ+ hero in 2014.
