A new Shaun the Sheep augmented reality trail will visit Westgate Oxford 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 Westgate Oxford, 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 Westgate Oxford from Friday 1 May to Sunday 31May.
To take part, families can pick up a trail map and a free Shaun the Sheep headband from the Westgate Oxford Guest Services pod, located next to JD Sports. Whilst taking part in the trail, guests will be able to enjoy a photo opportunity with an artist-designed Shaun the Sheep sculpture. On completion of the A.R. trail, families will be rewarded with a sticker prize, with adults also having the chance to win a £100 John Lewis gift card when signing up to PLUS+; Westgate Oxford’s free reward programme.
In addition, Westgate Oxford will host family-friendly activities during May half term, with official Aardman clay-modelling workshops taking place on Tuesday 26and Wednesday 27May, plus free Shaun the Sheep colouring sheets available to collect from Guest Services every weekend. Westgate Oxford’s PLUS+ members will be the first to access tickets for the workshops.
Clare Martin, Acting Centre Director at Westgate Oxford, 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 and a stunning art sculpture of Shaun the Sheep. Together with our family-favourite brands across fashion, dining and entertainment, Westgate Oxford is the perfect destination for a fun-filled family day out this half term – and beyond.”
