CHICKEN RUN: DAWN OF THE NUGGET

Chicken Run sequel will be brought to Manchester on Monday 13 November!

Having pulled off a death-defying escape from Tweedy’s farm, Ginger has finally found her dream – a peaceful island sanctuary for the whole flock, far from the dangers of the human world. When she and Rocky hatch a little girl called Molly, Ginger’s happy ending seems complete. But back on the mainland the whole of chicken-kind faces a new and terrible threat. For Ginger and her team, even if it means putting their own hard-won freedom at risk – this time, they’re breaking in!

Standalone tickets have flown off the shelves, but there’s still a chance for passholders to chick out the film – we highly recommend logging into your Eventive account and reserving your Chicken Run gala ticket now to avoid disappointment! It’s no yolk…

If that’s beaked your interest, we’re also hosting a very special ‘Making of’ session with im-peck-able Aardman director and animator Suzy Fagan Parr on Tue 14 Nov, where we’ll crack open the secrets from behind-the-scenes of the film.
