English Heritage is joining forces with Aardman Academy to provide free stop-motion animation workshops for young people (aged 11-25) at Belsay Hall, Castle and Gardens.

The introductory 40-minute workshops will take place on Tuesday (July 23). Aardman animators will help attendees develop skills in paper animation, inspiring them to create their own short animated film at home to share with English Heritage.

The animators will also bring their own private film sets for visitors to see – plus puppets from the Chicken Run films.
