It’s become a Christmas staple but you can enjoy it out of season too and get to say cheese on the Gromit Unleashed Trail in Bristol.
Everyone’s favourite toothy-smiled animated inventor and his beagle are the boast of Bristol’s Aardman Animations.
And families up and down Britain will sit down to their turkey or nut roast this Christmas and share the intrepid duo’s new adventures.
But how to get up close and personal with Nick Park’s pals?
Hit the trail
Well Bristolians have been living among Wallace and Gromit for 35 years.
And unveiling them for us over ten years with their Wallace and Gromit-centred trail.
Where this year the dastardly new gnome Norbot will join Feathers McGraw and W&G and the gang.
Your summer of sculpture-spotting fun will run from 30 June to 31 August.
With our pals at VisitBristol and Aardman revealing where and how to follow the trail over the early part of next year.
And what they have planned at the studios and on the road.
West is best
Bristol, 118 miles west of London, is ideally located in in the mouth of the confluence with Wales.
And well-served with its own airport and train and bus hubs and road network and, of course, sea.
It’s that port city mentality bringing artistic influences from around the world which gives Bristol its energetic vibe.
Enhanced by a new 5* hotel this autumn, the seductively sounding Hotel Gotham with 75 rooms, spa facilities and a rooftop bar.
Which is the place to ring in the best with a NYE party from £179pp.
Tour de force
And proving too that life does exist beyond London then Bristol is unveiling a new food, beer and music destination.
BOXHALL will open on the waterfront and will have all the energy of BOXPARK in London.
For visitors to the city there are numerous self-guided filming locations maps including The Outlaws, Sherlock, Doctor Who and Skins.
While, of course, keeping an ever-vigilant and satirical eye on Bristolians is the ubiquitous favourite native Banksy.
In his whose footsteps you can tread on a VisitBristol Banksy walking tour.
So put this south-west of England treasure on your map for next year.
