A school can win up to 30 tickets to take a group to the Larger Than Life experience opening at London’s Lightroom.
To celebrate the opening of the new immersive attraction, the team behind Larger Than Life: Starring Wallace & Gromit, Shaun and More are offering one school up to 30 tickets to see the hour-long show.
The deadline to enter the competition is Wednesday 7th October, 2026. It is only open to EVCs, teachers and staff working for schools, academies and colleges.
The experience, which marks the 50th anniversary of the award-winning Aardman Studio, opens in King’s Cross, London on 14th October and invites visitors to step directly into the joyful worlds of the much-loved productions.
Using state-of-the-art projection across Lightroom’s four 11-metre tall walls and the floor, the production tells the story of how Aardman’s legendary films and characters are built, one tiny, hand-crafted move at a time.
The 50-minute looping show is a masterclass in storytelling at scale, a journey into the Aardman world and the spectacular creativity, infectious humour and meticulous craftsmanship of the creators behind the scenes.
Highlights for school groups
From the kitchen table where school friends Peter Lord and David Sproxton first experimented, to the high-octane train chase in Wallace & Gromit: The Wrong Trousers, school groups will be transported from the “scrap-paper pitch” to the finished masterpiece.
The experience offers a rare, awe-inspiring look behind-the-scenes, showcasing everything from towering sets and tiny props to the laser-focused calm of the animation unit, celebrating the tactile spirit that has defined British animation for half a century.
Aardman’s Nick Park, creator of Wallace & Gromit, Shaun the Sheep, and Creature Comforts, said: “It’s a thrill to see Aardman’s worlds leap off the screen and into this spectacular immersive experience.
“From the very first sketches of Wallace & Gromit to the mischievous mayhem of Shaun the Sheep, these stories have always been about heart, hand-crafted detail, and a bit of a laugh. Now, fans can step inside Wallace’s invention shed or join Shaun and the Flock in a way that truly captures the tactile spirit of Aardman. It’s a wonderful new chapter for these characters, blending our stop-motion heritage with cutting-edge magic to bring everyone right into the centre of the action.”
