Land’s End is preparing to welcome the first visitors to its new half a million pound interactive Shaun the Sheep experience in this Saturday.

The launch will come days after Shaun’s big screen debut in Shaun the Sheep The Movie and allows fans to immerse themselves in Mossy Bottom Farm, discover the Naughty Pig's Sty and try to cure Shirley the Sheep's hiccups.

The Shaun the Sheep Experience is a joint venture between Aardman Animations and Heritage Great Britain, and includes green screen technology with visitors being able to have their photo taken with Shaun next to a ‘Lamb’s End’ signpost, as well as models and characters from the complete Aardman family including Wallace & Gromit and Morph.

Allan Leech, Heritage Great Britain chief executive, said:

“More than half a million people visit Land’s End every year and the experience is a great addition to what’s already on offer here.

“Shaun is a global phenomenon, broadcast in 170 countries and we look forward to welcoming visitors from all around the world.

“We’ve also invested in some of our other attractions including a new film at the 4D cinema and upgrading Arthur’s Quest.”
