Long-term deal will bring character to his first permanent UK farm attraction.
Aardman has teamed with Farmer Ted’s Adventure Farm to bring Shaun the Sheep to his first permanent UK farm attraction.
The Lancashire-based family experience – which opened this month – is the only farm attraction in the UK to have Shaun the Sheep in permanent residence.
Occupying almost two acres of the six-acre adventure farm, this is a new destination where families can have fun among engaging activities, showcasing the world of Shaun the Sheep.
The team have been theming various areas to create a new ‘camp’ for the character and his friends, and allow daily shows – including meet and greets with photo opportunities – to take place.
Themed activities include Bitzer’s Kinetic Club House, reaction game Hog Splash and navigation challenge Moley Moley. Mossy Bottom Crafts, meanwhile, encourages visitors’ creativity with craft activities.
“We’re delighted to be launching Shaun the Sheep’s first UK farm attraction experience at Farmer Ted’s,” said Ngaio Harding-Hill, head of attractions and live experiences at Aardman. “The Adventure Farm is the perfect home for Shaun, Bitzer and the Flock and we’ve worked closely with the Farmer Ted’s team to ensure the visitor experience captures all the fun, humour and creativity fans love.”
