The animation studio had its headquarters in Chorlton, and for 30 years the company created many recognisable works which are still seen today in over 80 countries.

The exhibition in Sale is a unique opportunity for visitors to catch a glimpse of some of the original hand-drawn artwork from favourites such as Wind in the Willows and Andy Pandy, and see a real set which was used in Postman Pat.

Scene on Screen will be running at Sale Waterside from September 23 2023 until January 6 2024. More information can be found on the website here. We take a look at the display in our video report above.
