Families are invited to embark on a free adventure with the Shaun the Sheep: Fun with the Flock augmented reality trail at the 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 Braintree Village, 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 Braintree Village from Friday 1st May to Sunday 31st May.   

To take part, families can pick up a trail map and a free Shaun the Sheep headband from the Braintree Village Guest Services desk, located opposite Ralph Lauren. 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 Nike gift card when signing up to PLUS+; Braintree Village’s free reward programme.  

In addition, Braintree Village will host appearances from Shaun the Sheep on Friday 29thMay and free Shaun the Sheep colouring sheets will be available to collect from Guest Services throughout May. Braintree Village’s PLUS+ members will be the first to access tickets for the character appearance sessions.
