Reading has been transformed into a baa-rilliant adventure destination this summer, as 12 giant Shaun the Sheep sculptures have invaded the town centre to create a fun visitor trail from 5 July to 31 August 2025.

The flagship event of this year’s Visit Reading Summer campaign sees the much-loved Aardman character, Shaun the Sheep, brought to life through 12 vibrant sculptures placed at key locations around Reading town centre

Delivered in collaboration with Aardman and global art producer, Wild in Art, the Find the Flock in Reading trail features a diverse collection of uniquely designed sculptures created by artists from across the region and beyond.

The trail runs for a total of 8 weeks and is free for everyone, with maps available to download online, or collect from The Oracle, Broad Street Mall, and Reading Station Tourist Information Unit.

In addition to exploring the giant colourful characters, each standing at 160cm tall, visitors can take part in a fun competition by unscrambling letters hidden on 11 Shaun statues to form a mystery word, with prizes up for grabs for eagle-eyed participants.
