Shaun In The City

We are delighted to announce that we are proud sponsors of one of 70 Shauns waiting to flock the city of Bristol later this summer. We were so pleased with the surprise arrival of Simon Tozer’s Gromberry last year we couldn’t wait to get involved, our part time resident pooch has certainly been missed.

70 giant sculptures of Aardman Animations’ Shaun the Sheep will be popping up all over the city, before being auctioned to raise money for The Grand Appeal, the Bristol Children’s Hospital Charity.

Each of the five-foot sculptures has been individually designed by a flock of artists, designers, and famous faces, including Wallace & Gromit and Shaun the Sheep creator Nick Park.

The sculptures will be grazing in iconic locations and tourist destinations all over Bristol, from 6th July until 31st August. Visitors can pick up a free trail map, or download the official Shaun in the City: Sheep Spotter app to help them find the whole flock.

The Bristol trail follows the success of Shaun in the City London trail earlier this year, which saw 50 different sculptures installed all across the capital for 8 weeks.

All 120 Bristol and London sculptures will be displayed in the Great Sheep Round Up Exhibition this Autumn, before the whole flock goes to auction, with proceeds from the sale of the 70 Bristol sculptures supporting The Grand Appeal, the Bristol Children’s Hospital Charity.

The Grand Appeal organised the phenomenally successful Gromit Unleashed trail in 2013 which saw 80 sculptures of Aardman’s canine sidekick raise more than £2.3million at an auction for the appeal.

Shaun the Sheep is one of Aardman’s best loved characters with over 5 million fans on social media with a TV series which is broadcast in 170 territories world-wide.
