Wallace and Gromit film to be shown at museum

SAY CHEESE: World of James Herriot manager Alison Scurrah with a depiction of Wallace

A CHEESE-LOVING movie star is to hit the big screen in Thirsk, with a screening of his film at a museum.

The World of James Herriot, in Kirkgate, is to show the Wallace and Gromit film The Wrong Trousers.

For one night only, Nick Park's award-winning animation will be screened at the visitor attraction.

The screening comes as the Herriot centre joins 69 other museums and galleries taking part in the Museum at Night scheme.

It forms part of Museums and Galleries Month and is supported by the creator of Wallace and Gromit, Aardman Animations.

Museums and Galleries Month runs through May with a series of events and activities.

Visitors to the Thirsk screening can make Shaun the Sheep puppets, based on Mr Park's movie of the same name.

Alison Scurrah, centre manager, said: "This is the first time we have taken part in this event. It is a one-off chance to see Wallace and Gromit at their funniest in a unique setting.

"We hope lots of people will come along, watch the film and make a Shaun the Sheep puppet. It promises to be a fun night."

The screening is next Saturday, at 5.30pm and 6.30pm. Tickets cost £2.50 and children must be accompanied by an adult.

Booking is essential, on 01845-524234.
