Shaun the Sheep in the Heart of Kent
Over the summer of 2024 thousands of visitors flocked to Maidstone to take part in the free Shaun the Sheep in the Heart of Kent art trail. At the end of the trail these beautifully painted and individually designed sculptures went under the hammer at auction to raise money for the hospice.
