New Scratch 'n' Sniff Wallace And Gromit Screenings!

Take part in a Wallace and Gromit cinematic experience like no other! In partnership with Anim18​, this year you can enjoy all-new Scratch 'n' Sniff screenings of Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit! Yes, that's right - your nose can experience the film as well as your eyes, as you get to sniff everything from Stinking Bishop to Bunny Burps during the action! 

The Scratch ‘n Sniff cinema event will be hosted at venues and film festivals across the country, starting with Glasgow Film Theatre on 4th August. 

Wallace and Gromit Creative Director Merlin Crossingham said: 

“We spend ages working on how our films look and sound because that is how cinema works. Entertainment for your eyes and ears. So having the ability to add smell to the cinematic experience is tantalising, your nose will be left out no longer.”
