A Grand Night In
Cracking!
Overview
Experience the magic of ACMI's Aardman exhibition after the sun goes down, at the museum's first ever public sleepover. From 6pm on Saturday, January 13 until 8am the next morning, visitors can step into the world's of Chicken Run, Shaun the Sheep and Wallace & Gromit, try their hand at their own claymation shorts, and chow down on a pizza dinner before curling up in their sleeping bags on the gallery floor.
The slumber party will be one of your last opportunities to check out the exhibition, which closes on January 29. In addition to investigating the more than 350 sketches, models, animatics and making-of clips, visitors will get to watch Aardman films on the massive Lightwell screen, and enjoy a breakfast courtesy of the ACMI Cafe and Bar.
