Wallace and Gromit enjoy a day out with a difference when a quest to find cheese prompts a visit to the moon. Despite a few hiccups with their homemade rocket, the duo makes a successful lunar landing, arriving just in time for lunch. But a strange, mechanical being isn’t too happy to see Wallace eating slices of moon cheese...

Following sold-out performances of the acclaimed short film Wallace and Gromit: The Wrong Trousers and Shaun the Sheep: The Flight Before Christmas, Darebin City Brass Preston Band returns to Melbourne Recital Centre for a screening of the BAFTA-winning Aardman classic, A Grand Day Out (1989), with live brass band.

Perfect for every member of the family, this performance opens with a selection of rousing brass band works before diving into the humorous world of short films.
