On Thursday 29th May, meet Shaun in Person Ahead of a Baa-rilliant Summer of Fun.

Get ready, Peterborough! Everyone’s favourite woolly hero, Shaun the Sheep, is making a special visit to the city on Thursday 29th May—and you’re invited to come and say hello!

Shaun will be making two special appearances on the day:

🐑 10:30am – Peterborough Cathedral
🐑 1:30pm – Queensgate Shopping Centre

This is a fantastic chance to meet the real Shaun ahead of “Shaun the Sheep: Summer in Peterborough”, a fun-filled family exhibition running throughout July and August. The summer programme promises a whole flock of activities including:

*A city-wide sculpture trail featuring Shaun and friends
*An interactive AR trail bringing the characters to life
*A hilarious Farmathlon challenge in the Cathedral Cloisters
*A one-of-a-kind Vegetable Orchestra at Queensgate

Paul Stainton, Head of Marketing and Communications at the Cathedral said: “We’re absolutely baa-rmy about welcoming Shaun the Sheep to Peterborough Cathedral next week! His flying visit to see the city on May 29th is just the start of a summer packed with fun, creativity, and woolly wonders for the whole family. From flocks of colourful Shauns to hands-on activities and trails, there’s something to make everyone smile – and it all starts with Shaun dropping in to say hello!”

Whether you’re young or perhaps just young at heart, there’ll be something for everyone in this baa-mazing celebration of creativity, community and a certain cheeky sheep…
