Shaun the Sheep Art Trails

Since 2023, we have been working in creative partnership with multi-award winning, independent studio Aardman to bring their well-loved, Academy Award® nominated film star Shaun the Sheep to towns and cities across the UK.

Shaun the Sheep sculpture art trails continue to bring his quirky character and slapstick humour to life, while raising funds for charity partners or bringing the magic of a sculpture trail to seasonal event programmes.

The Shaun the Sheep: Find the Flock sculpture trail is available to UK venues and attractions to hire across all peak holiday periods. Find out more about working with us.

What they say…

Working with Wild in Art and the Shaun the Sheep trail has been fantastic. The team are friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating and it has been really easy to put everything in place. The trail has been a huge draw, both for returning and local visitors but also in terms of attracting a whole new audience, resulting in a significant increase of 148% in visitor numbers compared to last year’s exhibition. It’s been great to have the flexibility to theme the trail to our local landscape and context, creating a bespoke experience. Feedback and reviews have been more than we could have hoped for, and we’ve felt the impact in extended dwell time, and additional spend in our café and retail offers. We’ve seen an increase in our online traffic relating to the trail content as well – overall a huge success!

Working with Wild in Art was a pleasure from start to finish, they made the process really straight forward and they were on hand for any questions or valued opinions. We knew Shaun the Sheep would be a great fit for our audiences at Tatton Park – and what really surprised us were the amount of adult only groups enjoying the artwork, appreciating the garden setting and reminiscing about Shaun – it made a lot of our visitors smile! The trail resulted in a generous uplift in overall garden entries, with a 34% increase from the previous year.
