Shaun the Sheep revealed as the star of popular St Oswald's Hospice art trail in Newcastle

A Newcastle hospice has revealed the new star of its popular North East art trail that's set to delight families next summer.

St Oswald's Hospice unveiled a giant statue of Shaun the Sheep at Ouseburn Farm in Byker on Tuesday as the charity announced the iconic character and his flock will be taking over the city in 2023.

The 'Shaun the Sheep on the Tyne' art trail will be the hospice's third trail in partnership with Wild in Art, which follows the success of the Great North Snow Dogs in 2016 and Elmer's Great North Parade in 2019. Once again, families will be able to visit various locations across Newcastle and surrounding areas to spot all 50 of the super-sized sculptures inspired by the much-loved star of film and television.
