A CRIME-SOLVING potato character paid a visit to a Darlington library to help promote an upcoming theatre show.

Mr Potato, from the popular children’s television show, Peppa Pig, met youngsters enjoying a story time session at Darlington’s Crown Street Library to promote a show at the town's Civic Theatre.

The show, named Peppa Pig’s Big Splash, is coming to the theatre on Saturday and Sunday, February 15 and 16.

The plot follows Peppa’s quest to organise a fete to raise money to help repair a nursery roof, which is leaking.

Tickets cost £13.50 and £15.50 for adults, £11.50 and £13.50 for children, and £55 for a family ticket for four.
