In a landmark announcement for British creativity, London’s Lightroom has revealed its next major production: Larger Than Life: Starring Wallace & Gromit, Shaun and More. Opening on 14 October 2026 in King’s Cross, this 360-degree immersive experience marks the 50th anniversary of the four-time Oscar-winning Aardman studio.
A Masterclass in Miniature on a Grand Scale
The 50-minute looping show will utilize Lightroom's state-of-the-art projection technology, spanning four 11-metre tall walls and the floor. This "spectacular new chapter" blends Aardman’s stop-motion heritage with cutting-edge digital magic, allowing fans to step inside Wallace’s invention shed or join Shaun and the Flock in a way never before possible.
"It’s a thrill to see Aardman’s worlds leap off the screen," says creator Nick Park. "From the very first sketches to the high-octane train chase in The Wrong Trousers, fans can now step right into the centre of the action."
From the Kitchen Table to the Big Screen
Produced in close collaboration with the Aardman team and designed by 59, a Journey studio, the experience offers a rare look into the studio’s archives. Visitors will journey from the "scrap-paper pitch" to the finished masterpiece, witnessing the meticulous craftsmanship of creators Peter Lord and David Sproxton.
"The magic of what we do at Aardman is not about making things move, it’s about making them live," notes Peter Lord. This production aims to capture that tactile spirit, showcasing everything from towering sets to the laser-focused calm of the animation unit.
