In the winter of 2023, uniquely designed sculptures of Shaun the Sheep were found at iconic locations across Nottinghamshire’s Clumber Park.


The trail was a glorious celebration of everything visitors love about Clumber as the wintery season was brought to life with bursts of colour, inspired by the much-loved star of film and television, Shaun the Sheep. Visitors could collect a trail map from the Discovery Centre and enjoy this unique way of exploring the picturesque parkland, gardens and peaceful woodlands of Clumber Park. The trail was on display from 18 November 2023 until 7 January 2024.

Introducing 'Snowfall Symphony,' a whimsical Shaun the Sheep sculpture capturing the mischievous charm of this lovable character. Adorned with an array of intricate snowflakes in white and silver, set against an icy blue backdrop with stars, the sculpture exudes the festive spirit. Shaun's playful yet responsible nature shines through this seasonal masterpiece, sprinkled with silver glitter for a touch of magic.





"We are delighted to be hosting this trail, which will highlight some of the best spots we have here at Clumber, as well as introducing visitors to areas of the park they may not have visited before. We all have a soft spot for Shaun the Sheep, it’s going to be a lot of fun!"

- Rob Holder, general manager
