‘The Snowman™ and The Snowdog’ exhibition – The Hold, Ipswich

The upcoming exhibition at The Hold on Ipswich Waterfront is inspired by the much-loved animated film, THE SNOWMAN™ AND THE SNOWDOG, the sequel to Raymond Briggs’ classic picture book (published by Puffin) and film adaption THE SNOWMAN™.

Produced under licence from Snowdog Enterprises Ltd (a Penguin Random House Company) and opening on Friday 25 October, ‘The Snowman™ and The Snowdog’ exhibition provides a delightful treat for all ages.
