Bristol Zoo: 8 stunning pictures of zoo's Shaun the Sheep Christmas sculpture trail

The 1.6m sculptures were produced in collaboration with Aardman and global art producer Wild in Art and have been individually designed by artist from across the South West and beyond.

Two of the sculptures - Jungle Baa-nanza and Panda-monium - have been designed exclusive for Bristol Zoo Project and take inspiration from the new Central African Forest habitat, which is currently under construction, and the zoo’s Endangered male red panda, Neora.

Other featured sculptures include Jessica Perrin’s Seasons Bleatings, Simon Randall’s Ginger and Megan Smith-Evans’ Santa Shaun.

The sculpture trail is available until January 12 and is included with general admission.

Rosie Sims, Public Engagement Manager at Bristol Zoo Project, said: “We are all really excited about the launch of Find the Flock this November. Shaun is such a famous character here in Bristol and we are thrilled to be hosting this trail until January, giving families and visitors the chance to enjoy some festive fun while they try to find all of the Shauns on the trail.

“Shaun’s flock has been all over the place, having fun exploring the zoo! Visitors can follow the map to explore and discover all twelve. We are confident Shaun will feel right at home alongside our giraffes, zebras, lemurs, red panda and cheetahs – there’s so much to see!”

Molly Van Den Brink, Attractions and Live Experiences Manager at Aardman, said: “Find the Flock is sure to be a festive treat for all visiting families to Bristol Zoo Project this Christmas, and we are thrilled to have collaborated to create two bespoke designs linked to the animals Shaun will be living alongside - it’s wonderful to bring the trail to Aardman’s home in Bristol!”
