Aardman and Fox & Edwards Events reveal Wallace & Gromit afternoon tea experience

Aardman and Fox & Edwards Events have today revealed a cracking new Wallace & Gromit afternoon tea experience aimed at heritage railways and attraction venues around the UK.

This licensed experience takes inspiration from Aardman’s classic Wallace & Gromit films - creating an immersive, themed dining space and afternoon tea that you can imagine this iconic duo tucking into, including themed menu items and of course plenty of cheese!

Inspired by their famous train chase in The Wrong Trousers, in 2025, Wallace & Gromit: Time for Tea will initially be rolled out across Britain’s amazing heritage railways with journeys pulled by steam locomotives across England, Wales & Scotland, with further heritage attraction sites to be announced in 2026.

Molly Van Den Brink, Senior Attractions & Live Experiences Manager, said: “This brand-new event package pulls together all Wallace & Gromit’s favourite things, cheese, tea, cake, trains and inventions! We are really excited to be working with Fox & Edwards Events to allow families and fans across Great Britain to enjoy a cracking day out at these fantastic heritage attractions, whilst indulging in an exclusive afternoon tea we are sure Wallace himself would enjoy!”

Julie Fox, Director of Fox & Edwards Events, said: “Wallace & Gromit is all about invention, huge ideas and grand days out. Our industrial heritage reflects all those values, and we work hard to attract new visitors to special places like steam railways.

“Beginning in July, visitors will be able to enjoy Time for Tea, based on our favourite duo. Imagine sitting back in a heritage carriage behind a vintage locomotive chuffing through countryside - while your Wallace & Gromit-themed afternoon tea is served. Cracking!”
