Join us at Hopetown Darlington for a special first as we host our very first outdoor cinema evening! And it’s one you won’t want to miss.

To mark the 50th anniversary of Aardman, we’re bringing Wallace & Gromit to the tracks. Enjoy a screening of Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, the latest feature-length adventure involving the iconic pair, in a relaxed open-air setting that’s perfect for families. It’s the ideal way to spend a summer evening with plenty of charm, humour and just a hint of mischief from a certain penguin.

This is your ticket to unwind. Bring along picnic blankets or camping chairs, settle in on Foundry Green and make the most of the evening. You’re welcome to bring your own food and drink, or you can pick up something tasty from our on-site kiosk.
