UK's first interactive Wallace and Gromit trail is on the way - here's all you need to know

Wallace and Gromit, the creations of 65-year-old Penwortham local Nick Park, have become two of the nation’s most iconic characters.

The stars of four short films, a feature film, two TV series and various spin-offs, this year Wallace and Gromit will be returning to our screens yet again for a new film, as yet unnamed.

From the multi-award-winning animation studio Aardman, this interactive experience promises a day filled with plenty of fun and invention! Perfect for cheese-lovers, budding inventors, and families!

To join the fun, simply download the free Wallace & Gromit All Systems Go Augmented Reality app available on both iOS and Android.

Then, for just a £4.50 add-on fee to your Dynamic Earthadmission, collect your special activity pack and unique AR location code at Dynamic Earth's Welcome Desk.

The activity pack includes activity sheets and a pair of Gromit ears, to enhance your family’s adventure! Join the iconic duo on a mission to prepare their rocket for blast-off, while exploring the story of planet Earth.

Young inventors will unlock exciting, augmented reality scenes in the heart of Dynamic Earth, from trying Wallace’s Techno Trousers to snapping selfies as the mischievous Feathers McGraw.

Edinburgh’s only Planetarium is getting in on the action too! As part of the summer celebrations, visitors can catch Wallace & Gromit’s out-of-this-world antics on the big dome screen.
