Immersive Wallace and Gromit adventure coming to Bristol for Christmas

By Martin Booth  Tuesday Oct 1, 2024

Wallace & Gromit: A Cracking Christmas Experience promises to be a one-of-a-kind festive event full of invention.

The immersive adventure is coming to Bristol over the Christmas period, coinciding with the release of Aardman’s new Wallace & Gromit film, Vengeance Most Fowl.

The adventure will take place within the Friary Building in Quakers Friars where visitors will be able to help Wallace save Christmas by fixing his latest gadget, the Christmas-O-Matic.

EatDrink24/7 Launch Party is back on July 8 2026!
Exclusive collabs from Bristol’s favourite food vendors, available for one night only. Be first to grab your free copy of the EatDrink24/7 guide – plus every ticket comes with a free limited-edition beer can.

The historic building will also become a pop-up cafe with a menu featuring cheese sandwich and a cracking cup of tea.

Sarah Tinsley, director of marketing & placemaking at Hammerson, the owners of Cabot Circus, said: “Cultural partnerships are just one of the exciting ways we are engaging our customers and creating new reasons to visit beyond shopping.

“Last year, our colourful mural with Aardman really captured visitors’ imaginations, so we are excited to be collaborating with them once again for a festive activation which not only champions local artists but also seeks to connect the community at the most magical time of the year.”

Wallace & Gromit: A Cracking Christmas Experience takes place from November 16 to December 24. Tickets cost £9 for peak times and £7.50 for off-peak times, and are on sale now via www.eventbrite.com/cc/wallace-gromit-a-cracking-christmas-experience-3695939
