Whilst shopping for Josephs (4.5) school uniform we found ourselves at M&S in The Mall at Cribs Bristol. They didn't have the t-shirt we needed in stock, so we decided to go on the search for a Gromit as I was sure there would be one there. So while making our way to the middle of the shopping centre we stumbled upon the Gromit Unleashed shop & experience on the upper floor. Inside we found our first Gromit 'The Green Gromit'.
We had lots of fun looking around the experience (suggested donation £1), Joseph loved the rocket, they also had plasticine to make your own Gromit & light boxes to help you draw like the animators. They also had all the DVDs running, if we make it back, I will pop to Starbucks first & let the boys sit on the bean bags & watch some. It was a real shame we were in a bit of a rush as you could spend quite a while there!
We picked up a trail map from the shop & were pointed in the direction of Cath Kidsons 'Antique Rose' who is outside The Mall buy the fountains.
Whilst up in that direction we also found 'The Wild West' at Cribs Causeway Retail Park.
Joseph is so excited about the Gromits & i have a feeling that we will be travelling all over Bristol this summer in search of them. If you would like to find out more take a look at the Gromit Unleashed site here, they also have a fab app for iphones & androids, another time I wish I hadn't chose my Nokia! I love my 12mp camera though! On a sad note I think its a real shame that some of the Gromits have been damaged already.
