50 Years of Wallace & Gromit, Shaun the Sheep and Friends

 

A landmark celebration of Aardman’s extraordinary world – bringing together iconic characters, much-loved films and the thrill of a live orchestra for an unforgettable cinematic experience.

Created in partnership with Aardman, this special anniversary event invites audiences to rediscover classic moments from Wallace & Gromit, Shaun the Sheep, Morph, Creature Comforts and more. All performances include a full screening of either The Wrong Trousers or A Matter of Loaf and Death with live orchestral accompaniment.

 

Warm, funny and nostalgic, it’s a celebration of five decades of British storytelling and creativity.

"Absolutely perfect in every way... Highly recommended for all ages"
"It hits all the right notes"
"A great way to introduce children to a live orchestra"
