With just weeks to go before the launch of the eagerly-awaited Shaun the Sheep trail across Tyneside, the charity behind it is offering people a chance to buy one of the unique sculptures for just £1.
The trail, which follows on from the huge success of the Great North Snowdogs and Elmer the Elephant trails, will see 45 individually-decorated versions of Shaun the Sheep on display throughout the area, while 70 more smaller sheep, with designs created by local schools and community groups, will make up a second trail of their own.
Like the trails before them, the artworks based on the much-loved creation of Oscar-winning studio Aardman Animations, will be raising vital funds to fight cancer. Local charity St Oswald's Hospice has announced it is raffling off a Shaun the Sheep, known by TV viewers as Wallace and Gromit’s fleecy sidekick, with £1 tickets now on sale.
