Aardman’s Bristol Legacy in Gromit | Bristol News

Aardman Animations, creators of Wallace and Gromit, have deep roots in Bristol since 1976—and their love for the city has fueled a decades-long mission to give back. Partnering with The Grand Appeal since 1995, they helped raise an astonishing £90 million for Bristol Children’s Hospital, far exceeding their original £10 million goal. Their magic? Using beloved characters like Gromit to spark joy and awareness—most notably through the wildly popular 2013 “Gromit Unleashed” art trail, which raised £2.3 million and turned the city into a giant animated playground. Now, to celebrate 50 years in Bristol, a dazzling exhibition at M Shed titled “Cracking Exhibition Gromit” showcases the artistry behind their iconic creations—proof that creativity, community, and heart can build more than just cartoons… they can build hospitals, memories, and miracles.
