Shaun Le Sheep due to return to Farewell Event with baa-rilliant transformation after being vandalised

Graham Robson October 25, 2023

Martlets has confirmed that Shaun Le Sheep will now return for display at their Farewell Event at the end of November.   

Shaun Le Sheep, designed by Sara Pope and sponsored by Plus Accounting, was sadly removed from the trail for repairs but is currently undergoing an incredible transformation to make it auction-ready 

Martlets, the local hospice charity for Brighton & Hove, has confirmed that the sculpture will not return to the trail, which is due to end on November 5, so there is enough time to create the newly improved design 

The team behind the Shaun by the Sea art trail has confirmed that Shaun Le Sheep will now be available to view again at the Farewell Event, which due to exceptional demand is taking place in the main foyer of the Brighton Centre from November 24-26.  

Claire Kidd, Head of Fundraising at Martlets said: “We want to thank everyone who has come forward to support us over the last few weeks after we received significant damage to several of our sculptures. Although it is disappointing, people have come through with kind donations and offers of support.  

“At Martlets we care for people living through some of the toughest of times. But no matter how tough, Martlets will be there to support our community in Brighton & Hove, the Deans and the Havens. It’s these values that we’ve taken to Shaun Le Sheep, and we can’t wait to reveal more in the weeks to come. We’re excited for people to see it and potential bid on it at our auction on November 27.” 

Tickets to the Farewell Event are available to purchase HERE
