At The Mall, community support and engagement are at the heart of what we do. This summer, we’re excited to be part of the Heart of Kent Hospice’s “Shaun in the Heart of Kent” art trail. By sponsoring two delightful Shaun the Sheep sculptures and hosting two learning flocks, we’re helping to bring this vibrant and meaningful event to life.
What is Shaun in the Heart of Kent?
Shaun in the Heart of Kent is a unique and engaging art trail featuring individually decorated Shaun the Sheep sculptures. These sculptures are designed by local artists and scattered across various locations, creating an interactive experience for families and art enthusiasts. This initiative not only brings joy and creativity to our community but also supports the vital work of the Heart of Kent Hospice.
Our Contributions
Sponsoring Two Shauns
We are proud sponsors of two Shaun the Sheep sculptures, each uniquely decorated to reflect the charm and spirit of Kent. These sculptures will be on display at The Mall, offering visitors a chance to admire the artistry and participate in the trail.
Housing Two Learning Flocks
In addition to our sponsored sculptures, we are hosting two learning flocks. These smaller Shaun sculptures are decorated by local schools and community groups, showcasing the creativity of our young artists. Come see these colorful and imaginative pieces and celebrate the talent within our community.
Pop-Up Shop: Heart of Kent Hospice
We’re also excited to announce that the Heart of Kent Hospice will have a pop-up shop at The Mall. This shop offers a variety of items, with proceeds directly supporting the hospice’s essential services. It’s a fantastic opportunity to purchase unique gifts while contributing to a great cause.
