Night at the Museum - Winter Wonders

Night at the Museum - Winter Wonders takes over the Royal Albert Memorial Museum (RAMM) on Thursday 10 December, from 5.30 to 7.30pm. It's a family evening, so if you've got kids, this is one of those things that actually works for all ages rather than just the little ones.

The main draw is storyteller Clive PiG, who'll be telling a brand new set of globe-hopping winter tales from far-flung corners of the world. If you've heard him before, you know the drill: he's a proper storyteller, not just someone reading from a page, so it's as much about the performance as the stories themselves. These are new ones, too, so it's not a repeat of his previous winter sets.

Around the storytelling, the museum changes a bit for the night. The galleries are lit up after dark, and Father Christmas will be roaming the halls, so there's a bit of a festive atmosphere to wander through between the stories. There are a couple of hands-on bits to get stuck into as well: you can make your own festive decoration to take home, and there's face painting that they describe as shimmering like a frosty winter's morning, which is a nice way of saying the kids will come out looking like they've been rolled in glitter.

It's a short window on a weekday evening, so it's more of a focused outing than a whole-night thing. Tickets are £5.50 per person, and the whole thing runs from 5.30 to 7.30pm at RAMM in Exeter.
