Shaun the Sheep Invades Brighton and Hove This Autumn!
Get ready, Brighton and Hove! This autumn, 50 one-of-a-kind Shaun the Sheep sculptures will pop up across the city in a cheeky new art trail. It’s all thanks to a collaboration between Martlets, the local hospice charity, and the creative minds behind Wild in Art.
Martlets CEO: “The Epic Adventure Begins”
Claire Irving, CEO of Martlets, said:
“The epic adventure begins… Martlets are thrilled to be working with Wild in Art for the third time to bring another spectacular installation to Brighton & Hove. This time, we’ve teamed up with Aardman to bring you our cheekiest trail yet! After the huge success of Snowdogs in 2016 and Snailspace in 2018, we’re incredibly excited to invite Shaun the Sheep to spend eight weeks with us this autumn 2023.”
Claire added that previous art trails raised more than £600,000, helping fund life-changing hospice care while giving the local economy a much-needed boost.
A Trail to Lift Spirits and Boost the Economy
Following two tough years of COVID-19 challenges, the Shaun by the Sea trail promises to bring a splash of joy, connection, and fun back to the community. It’s a perfect pick-me-up for locals craving entertainment and businesses eager for a boost.
Martlets supports those facing terminal illness and champions bringing joy to every moment. Shaun by the Sea will unite families, artists, fundraisers, volunteers, schools, community groups, and businesses for a cause that matters.
Join the Fun – Sponsorships Available!
Claire says there are plenty of exciting ways to get involved. Local businesses can even snag sponsorship opportunities to get their name out there alongside Shaun and his quirky flock. It’s a win-win for the community and for charity.
