Last chance to view Shaun the Sheep statue display

More than 100 Shaun the Sheep statues formed a trail around Maidstone

People in Kent are having their last chance to view Shaun the Sheep statues which have been displayed around a town centre all summer.

The free art trail of more than 100 decorated sculptures in Maidstone was organised by Heart of Kent Hospice and has been in place since June.

All the sculptures of the famous cartoon character have now been brought together for a final display at Maidstone Market Hall in Lockmeadow until Sunday.

They will then be auctioned on 26 September with all proceeds going to the charity.

A police investigation was launched in August after two of the sculptures were vandalised.

The hospice said at the time the vandalism could cost it £5,000 in lost revenue.

The sculptures were decorated and designed by local schools, community groups and care homes.

Councillor David Naghi, from Maidstone Borough Council, said: “The Shaun the Sheep trail has been a wonderful addition to the town centre this summer.

"It’s been so encouraging to see the thousands of people taking selfies and discovering places in Maidstone that they may never have come across before."
