Fans of the Aardman animation character Shaun The Sheep are in for a treat.

Throughout August, shoppers in Tunbridge Wells can take part in a free-to-enter “Hide and Sheep” trail.

Visitors will be able to download an app and then search for and scan QR codes located in 11 locations across the town centre to discover the wooley character in various fun poses.

The interactive trail has been produced by Aardmen in partnership with Tunbridge Wells Puppetry Festival, Royal Victoria Place and RTW Together BID.

Parents will be able to take photos of their children with Shaun and there will be two dedicated “selfie stations” on the lower and upper malls at Royal Victoria Place.

In addition, there will be screenings of the Shaun the Sheep movie running on the upper floor at the mall throughout the month, while on August 31 there will be three Aardman model-making workshops taking place next to M&S where patrons can also learn how to make Feathers McGraw and Gromit figures.

Alex Green, chief executive of RTW Together BID, which is funding the project, said: “We are always keen to look for creative ways to increase footfall into the town and this is a really brilliant way to engage families this summer.”

There is a £10 charge for the workshop.
