Wallace and Gromit coming to LEGO for first time with event for fans

It will be a grand day out for fans of the Bristol creation

A grand day out is coming for fans of Britain’s most dynamic duo as Wallace and Gromit make their brick-built debut with the new LEGO Ideas Wallace & Gromit set, available to buy from Thursday, October 1. Inspired by Bristol-based Aardman’s beloved characters and their iconic adventure in Wallace and Gromit; A Close Shave, the 1,038-piece build lets fans recreate the cheese-loving inventor and his canine companion to life in classic LEGO style.

Complete with Wallace and Gromit’s signature motorcycle and sidecar, the set features Wallace’s overalls, red tie and white helmet to Gromit’s vintage-style goggles. Fans can pose the pair in different ways, or get the wheels turning and send them off on their next adventure. And, there are a few cracking details to discover along the way. Hidden in the motorcycle’s seat hatch are Easter eggs inspired by the duo’s adventures.

Inspired by a Fan Designer, Sébastien Esnault’s original idea, which was selected as part of LEGO Ideas ‘90s Throwback, the set gives fans the chance to take one of Britain’s most loved duos home in brick form.

To celebrate the launch, the LEGO Store Battersea Power Station will be opening its doors early at 8am and inviting four-legged fans (and their owners) to be among the first to take the new set home.

Taking centre stage in the store will be a giant, life-size recreation of Wallace & Gromit’s iconic red motorbike and sidecar, specially designed for dogs to hop aboard for a picture.

Shoppers and their dogs who take a photo with the life-sized model will also receive a free, bespoke Wallace & Gromit postcard, an exclusive collector’s item created to mark the launch. And LEGO fans will be able to get a limited-edition stamp on their LEGO Passport.

Also, LEGO and Wallace & Gromit fans in Bristol can meet the creative masterminds behind the new set at an exclusive designer signing event. On Saturday, October 3, between 10am and 11am, LEGO Ideas designer Sébastien Esnault as well as LEGO designers Ellen Bowley and Tom Gerardin will be at the LEGO Store at Cribbs Causeway to meet fans and sign copies of the set.

LEGO Ideas Wallace & Gromit (21371) is available to purchase from October 1, 2026, priced at £89.99 at LEGO.com and in LEGO Stores.
