Shaun the Sheep is returning to Brighton for a final farewell weekend.

All of the 120 small and large sculptures from the Shaun by the Sea art trail will be on display at the Brighton Centre before the artworks are auctioned off to raise money for the hospice charity Martlets.

The unique artist-painted sculptures were on display across Brighton and Hove between September and early November, with the trail’s official app being downloaded more than 11,000 times.

Visitors to the farewell weekend will also be able to join a workshop to make their very own model of Shaun the Sheep to take home.

The three-day event is the last time the sculptures will be on public display before being auctioned off at the Brighton Dome Corn Exchange on Monday, November 27, when they are expected to raise more than £250,000 for charity.

Bidding for each Shaun sculpture is anticipated to start at £3,000.

Tanya Hunt, director of income generation for Martlets, said: “We’re thrilled by the phenomenal response to Shaun by the Sea.

“This is the third art trail we’ve run in the city and it has been the most popular so far. It’s been wonderful to see how much joy it has brought to people.

“We are hoping for record-breaking results when the sculptures are auctioned. Each Shaun is a unique work of art so we’re anticipating a lot of interest.

“Every penny raised is money we can use to continue our work providing life-changing hospice care in the local community.”

Tickets to the auction cost £20 and are available from the Shaun by the Sea website. Due to high demand, the charity has asked that only serious bidders register an interest in attending.

Those hoping to see the sculptures one last time before the auction can visit the farewell event at the Brighton Centre until November 26, with tickets available for £7.50 for adults and £3.50 for children.

Tickets can be purchased online on the Shaun by the Sea website, with all proceeds going to Martlets.
