Two Weeks to Go Until Shaun the Sheep Flocks to Peterborough for a Summer of Family Fun!

Uncategorised15 July 2025

This summer, get ready for a baa-rilliant adventure as family favourite Shaun the Sheep arrives in Peterborough for a series of fun-filled events across the city! With just TWO weeks to go, excitement is building as families prepare to meet Shaun and his woolly friends in a city-wide celebration of creativity, fun and outdoor discovery, proudly sponsored by Queensgate Shopping Centre.

From interactive trails to musical mayhem, here are four fantastic ways to get involved:

Find the Flock 
Explore Peterborough and spot a colourful cast of Shaun the Sheep sculptures in unexpected places. Each one is uniquely designed by artists – how many can you find? Grab a map and start searching!

Take on the A.R. Trail 
Bring the city to life through an augmented reality trail that blends digital fun with real-world exploration. Scan, discover, and interact with Shaun and friends using your phone.

Farmathlon Live! 
Get moving with this hilarious family challenge inspired by country sports (with a Shaun the Sheep twist!). Expect hay bale hurdles, welly wanging, and lots of laughs.

The Vegetable Orchestra
Enjoy the wonderfully weird and wacky sounds of instruments inspired by vegetables. A fun, interactive musical experience the whole family will love.

Paul Stainton, Head of Marketing at the Cathedral said:

‘This summer is all about reclaiming the city centre as a space for families to explore, play and connect. With Shaun the Sheep leading the way, we’re seeing incredible collaboration across Peterborough – from cultural venues to shopping centres – we are all working together to create a vibrant, welcoming city centre experience. It’s another brilliant example of what can happen when the whole city pulls in the same direction.’

This city centre collaboration promises a summer of family-friendly entertainment that brings art, play and community to the heart of Peterborough.
