About Us
This spring and summer, Aardman’s internationally-renowned character Shaun the Sheep is starring in two ewe-nique charity arts trails across London and Bristol, organised by Wallace & Gromit’s Children’s Foundation – introducing, Shaun in the City! 120 giant Shaun the Sheep sculptures, created by artists, designers and celebrities, are grazing green spaces and iconic locations across London and Bristol, before going to auction to raise funds for Wallace & Gromit’s Children’s Charity and The Grand Appeal, supporting children in hospitals across the UK.The charity brought the first flock of 50 sculptures to London on 28th March, with the Shauns making the capital their home until 31st May. A further flock of 70 b-ewe-tiful sculptures will then graze Bristol’s pastures from 6th July to 31st August. With completely different sculptures appearing in each city, make sure you catch them both!
