MEET THE MISCHIEF-MAKING GRINCH AT TORQUAY MUSEUM THIS CHRISTMAS

If you're looking for something a little different to entertain the kids this Christmas, then enjoy a storytelling performance with the Grinch at Torquay Museum. As an added bonus, entry to the Museum will be free of charge when purchasing a Grinch ticket.

The hugely talented Devon-based Pocketwatch Theatre Company will entertain all ages with The Grinch Story – an interactive performance featuring a storyteller, the Grinch and puppetry. The performances are suitable for all ages. Tickets are £5 each for children and adults, and booking is highly recommended as the Grinch has proved hugely popular in previous years - call 01803 293975 to reserve your tickets, or book HERE via Eventbrite (a small booking fee is charged by Eventbrite).

The Christmas-themed fun continues with a motorised Lego Santa's sleigh building workshop at 2pm on 21st December, run by the Lego building experts at Brick Ideas. Participants will not only build their sleighs in small groups, but will then race them. The two hour family-friendly workshop costs £5 per person, with free entry to the Museum, but booking in advance is essential as places are very limited.

There will also be a fun festive trail – the Snowman Gift Hunt, where children will follow clues hidden around the Museum and win a prize. This will be available throughout the festive period.

There are lots of other activities for children in this family-friendly museum, where they can hunt down the clues in the spooky Curse of the Mummy's Hand game, and crack the secret code to the safe on the Explorer's Trail. Many of the exhibits are interactive and fun, and are suitable for little hands and curious minds. The Museum even has its very own mummy - if you're brave enough to go and see him.
