Family fun with Shaun the Sheep and White Rose this May

A new Shaun the Sheep augmented reality trail will visit White Rose Shopping Centre next month, alongside a line-up of fun half-term activities.

Families are invited to embark on a free adventure with the Shaun the Sheep: Fun with the Flock augmented reality trail at the city shopping destination, bringing the much-loved Shaun the Sheep character and his farmyard friends to life in 3D.

Guests can hunt down nine markers throughout White Rose, each unlocking an interactive A.R. scene. Along the way, families can complete fun challenges with Bitzer the dog, pose alongside animated characters, and capture photos and videos to share with family and friends.

The Shaun the Sheep A.R. Trail will be at White Rose from Friday 1^st May to Sunday 31^st May.

To take part, families can pick up a trail map and a free Shaun the Sheep headband from the Guest Services team. Whilst taking part in the trail, guests will be able to enjoy photo opportunities with artist-designed Shaun the Sheep sculptures. On completion, families will be rewarded with a sticker prize, with adults also having the chance to win a £100 gift card when signing up to PLUS+; White Rose’s free reward programme.

In addition, White Rose will host a range of family-friendly activities during May half term, with official Aardman clay-modelling workshops taking place on Thursday 28^th and Friday 29^th May, and appearances from Shaun the Sheep on Wednesday 27^th May. PLUS+ members will be the first to access tickets for both activities.

Ashleigh Kellett, Deputy Centre Director of White Rose Shopping Centre, commented: “The Shaun the Sheep A.R. trail will be a fun, quirky adventure, and we’re excited to partner with Aardman to bring it to the city. As well as the trail, guests will also be able to enjoy interactive art workshops, character meets and stunning art sculptures of Shaun the Sheep. Together with our family-favourite brands across fashion, dining and entertainment, White Rose is the perfect destination for a fun-filled family day out this half term – and beyond.”

*Note: To participate in the Shaun the Sheep A.R. trail, guests will need to download the ‘Fun with the Flock’ app and enter the location code 2503, either in advance or on site. Alternatively, if preferred, guests are invited to complete the trail manually by visiting the centre and discovering the trail for themselves without downloading the app.
