TALL Stories, creators of The Gruffalo and Room on the Broom stage shows, are presenting The Extraordinary Adventures of Mr Benn at the Exeter Northcott Theatre over the Christmas period.

One ordinary day Mr Benn receives an invitation to a fancy dress party – and comes across an extraordinary shop.

As if by magic, the shopkeeper appears with an array of costumes and shows him into the dressing room.

Inside is a mysterious door that leads Mr Benn into incredible adventures, full of dragons, princesses and sea monsters.

Will Mr Benn ever go back to his ordinary life? The show is full of catchy songs and astounding magic and runs until January 4.

Members of the audience are invited to go along in their favourite fancy dress outfit.

Tickets are £12, or £33 for a family ticket. Schools are £8.50 for groups of ten or more.
