Aardman immersive experience to open in King’s Cross this October
Londoners will be able to step inside the worlds of some Aardman classics in a brand-new themed immersive experience.
To celebrate 50 years of British animation studio Aardman, a new immersive experience featuring some familiar characters is coming to London.
Landing in the capital at the King’s Cross based Lightroom this autumn, fans will be able to step into the claymation studio’s history and see how their fave characters including Wallace & Gromit, Shaun the Sheep and Morph came to be.
Opening on 14 October 2026, Larger Than Life: Starring Wallace & Gromit, Shaun and More will take over Lightroom using cutting-edge projection across Lightroom’s four 11-metre-high walls and floor.
Blending classic scenes from Aardman’s films and TV shows with never-before-seen archival material, a brand-new animation has also been created specially for the venue to display.
Lightroom executive producer David Sabel said wanted to bring the magic of Aardman’s Bristol studios to the capital.
He explained: "I’ve been a life-long lover of Aardman’s work and they were one of the first ideas we wanted to pursue for Lightroom.
“Visiting their studios in Bristol is an amazing experience - you pull back the curtain, look into an animator’s unit and feel yourself shrink as your focus and imagination melt into the miniature world before your eyes.
“At Lightroom, we hope to give audiences this feeling - writ large - as you both join the characters in their environments and step back to discover how it all comes together and who’s pulling the strings.”
Larger Than Life: Starring Wallace & Gromit, Shaun and More will run from October 14 at Lightroom in King’s Cross.
Ticket prices start from £25 for adults and £15 for children and are available via the Lightroom website. Family discounts and group and education tickets are also available.
