The Hairy Hands of Dartmoor: A Farfetched Folktale
Join Emma and Mich of The Story Store for a playful spin on a local legend
Have you heard the rumours? Have you seen the news?
Were they really purple and powered by potatoes?!
Perhaps we can’t trust everything we read…
Co-created with young people in Devon and supported by Libraries Unlimited, this exciting, interactive new play aims to dispel the myths and uncover the truth! Part of Libraries Unlimited's Digital & Media Literacy Project, aiming to open up conversations about mis/disinformation and online safety
Best suited for 6-10 year-olds and their families!
Runtime approx. 60 min
After the show, there will be some activities and chat about the themes of online safety and tackling misinformation. This activity will be suitable for all ages and last for about 30 mins after the show. (Plus free biscuits and fruit!) So please do stay around afterwards to say hello
