Founded in the early 1970s, Aardman Animations have produced an array of beloved stop-motion characters over the years, from Wallace and Gromit to Shaun the Sheep, Feathers McGraw and Morph.
1989 saw the release of Wallace and Gromit's big-screen debut, A Grand Day Out, and the pair have starred in five full-length productions to date, most recently The Curse of the Were-Rabbit in 2005.
The perfect indoor activity for all the family, Aardman's Gromit model-making sessions are a great chance to unlock your creativity and learn from an in-house artist from one of the world's leading animators.
Materials will be provided, and tickets are available for £10 per person. Sessions last around an hour and a half including the film screening, with morning and afternoon sessions running across three dates.
