The screening features specially created animations as well as live orchestral accompaniment and escapades from the Picture House Orchestra and presenter Matthew Sharp.

The audience will also get chance to see Wallace and Gromit film The Wrong Trousers, also with live orchestral accompaniment.

The tour is presented by Carrot Productions which previously brought its concert and screening of The Snowman to Blackpool as part of sell-out tours.

Rachel Whibley, Carrot’s managing director, said: “With six years’ experience behind us of presenting The Snowman to thousands of satisfied audience members across the country, we are well placed to deliver this wonderful Wallace and Gromit programme.
