Leeds Castle has announced that Wallace & Gromit: A Cracking Christmas Caper, will run from 21 November 2026 to 3 January 2027. Where the duo go, adventure is never far behind – and something rather cracking is already afoot within these ancient walls. Full event details will be announced early in September 2026; the month that Aardman marks its 50th anniversary. Leeds Castle will join the celebrations and reveal why Wallace & Gromit are descending on Leeds Castle this Christmas.
Mark Delin, Marketing & Events Director at Leeds Castle Foundation, said, “Christmas at Leeds Castle has always been something special, but this year we are taking it to a whole new level. We cannot think of better company than the iconic Wallace & Gromit to help us create a Christmas experience that will delight families, bring generations together and make memories that last long after the decorations come down. We cannot wait to share what we have been planning.”
Molly Van Den Brink, Senior Attractions & Live Experiences Manager at Aardman, said, “Wallace & Gromit are synonymous with a cosy Christmas – so where better for them to spend it than at Leeds Castle over the festive period! We’re excited to be developing a brand-new, seasonal experience with Leeds Castle which invites guests to explore the site like never before.”
Wallace & Gromit: A Cracking Christmas Caper runs from 21 November 2026 to 3 January 2027 at Leeds Castle, Maidstone, Kent, ME17 1PL. The experience is included in standard admission. Tickets are available here.
