Shaun The Sheep at Kew Gardens

This Easter, Aardman’s much-loved, world famous sheep is starring in his first movie and is bringing a host of friends to Kew to celebrate.

There will be lots of fun family activities running throughout the festival, from Welly Wanging in our Madcap Meadow to collecting stamps along Timmy’s Springtime Trail.


Timmy's springtime trail

Follow Timmy the Lamb on a trail around Kew, spotting the colourful spring flowers, then join his friends for some fun Easter activities.

The trail will also take you to the Princess of Wales Conservatory where you'll find out how chocolate is made, and to the Palm House where you'll see the tree that chocolate comes from.

Collect stamps as you complete the trail. It's perfect for children and adults alike – be sure to see how many spring flowers you can identify along the way!

Shaun's Madcap Meadow

Join Shaun and his friends at our marquee and outside arena where you can take part in madcap games and activities.

Wellie wanging - throw baby wellies at scarecrow farmers to knock off their heads
Sheep Hopper Maze - bounce and race your way around a maze of hay
Vegetable orchestra - musicians will play their comedy veggie instruments - feel free to join in!
Bitzer’s sheepdog trials take place each hour and last for 15 minutes. Assist Bitzer‘s buddies to herd, bounce and roll Shirley back into her pen. The activity involves physical games and follow the leader.
