Have you heard the rumours? Have you seen the news? Were they really purple and powered by potatoes?!
Join Emma and Mich of The Story Store for a playful, interactive spin on the local legend of the Hairy Hands of Dartmoor. Co-created with young people in Devon and supported by Libraries Unlimited, this funny new family show sets out to dispel the myths and uncover the truth.
Part of Libraries Unlimited's Digital & Media Literacy Project, the show opens up conversations about misinformation, disinformation and online safety in a fun and engaging way for children and families.
Best suited for ages 6-10 and their families. The show runs for approximately 60 minutes and takes place in the Rougemont Room on the 2nd floor of Exeter Library.
After the performance, stay for free activities and an informal discussion about online safety and tackling misinformation. Free biscuits and fruit will be provided. All ages welcome for the post-show session, which runs for approximately 30 minutes.
