On Friday 21st June 2013 Wallace & Gromit are urging the nation to join in with the celebrations and take part in Wrong Trousers Day 10th birthday by donning their weirdest, wackiest party trousers and donate £1 for the right to look wrong.

To celebrate 10 years of Wrong Trousers Day Aardman will be creating a brand new image of Wallace & Gromit for the charity to use.
