Wallace & Gromit and Friends at Baaa-ttersea offers a playful retail experience where the different parts of the shop feel connected to the films and the characters, rather than just displaying products on the shelves.
There are sections dedicated to Wallace & Gromit, Feathers McGraw, Morth, Chicken Run and there is even a Wendoline’s Wools section inspired by A Close Shave.
