Ever wondered how many crackers it takes to fuel a moon expedition? How you teach a sheep to think like Steve McQueen? Or what’s behind Feathers McGraw's rubber-glove disguise? Tonight is your chance to find out. In this warm, witty in-conversation event, Nick lifts the lid on decades of clay magic: the incredible craft, the happy accidents, the Wensleydale, and the stories behind the characters who've stolen the world's heart. 


The evening also celebrates the publication of Grand: The Autobiography of Gromit as told to Nick Park, the long-awaited memoir in which Gromit finally breaks his silence and reveals exactly where all the bones are buried. With an exclusive first look at the publication, there is the opportunity to get your paws on the book a full week before anyone else in the world.


This is your chance to put your questions to one of Britain’s most beloved storytellers—whether it's the secret to that iconic Wrong Trousers chase sequence or how Gromit says so much without uttering a word. Cracking stories guaranteed.
