ANIMATE TURNS ONE – COME CELEBRATE WITH US!
Animate is celebrating its very first birthday this February half term, and everyone's invited!
Join us for a full day of free family fun as we mark one year since Nick Park unveiled Feather McGraw and officially opened Animate to the public. Our birthday bash will be packed with entertainment, activities, and feel-good moments for all ages. Visitors can look forward to meeting favourite characters including Spiderman, Hulk and Elsa, alongside live music and plenty of hands on fun. Expect circus skills workshops, classic fairground games, and lots more throughout the day.
Our tenants will also be joining the celebrations with special birthday treats, offers and activities, giving visitors even more reasons to spend the day with us.
Be early! The first 200 people to arrive will receive a goodie bag filled with exciting offers and merchandise, including a complimentary ticket to Arc Cinema to enjoy a blockbuster film.
Come along, join the fun and help us celebrate Animate's first birthday!
