Gromit Unleashed 3: First look at amazing sculptures for Bristol's hotly-anticipated new Wallace & Gromit trail 🤩

Wallace, Gromit and Feathers McGraw will be joined by brand-new character Norbot the 'smart gnome' for Gromit Unleashed 3.

The new trail will hit the streets of Bristol on June 30, 2025 to raise money for The Grand Appeal - Bristol's Children's Hospital Charity.

It will come hot on the heels of Aardman’s new Wallace & Gromit feature film, Vengeance Most Fowl, set for release this Christmas.

A Grand Appeal spokesperson said about the sculptures: “Designed and painted by The Grand Appeal’s creative lead Emily Golden, King of Diamonds is a playful Feathers McGraw that looks like it could have jumped straight out of the pages of Lewis Carrol’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.

“Wallace takes on a new character as a homage to historical epic stories featuring Roman soldiers and heroic gladiators, created by local set and scenic artists Mawford Arts.

“And Gromit is ready to light up the dancefloors of disco films such as Saturday Night Fever, Boogie Nights and Pulp Fiction as created by mosaic artist Lizzie Tucker.

“In a cracking plot twist for the third Gromit Unleashed trail in Bristol, a brand-new prototype sculpture has been unveiled. Introducing… ‘Norbot’ the smart gnome, Wallace’s enigmatic new invention from Vengeance Most Fowl who joins the character line-up for the first time in 2025.”
