ABOUT THIS EXPERIENCE

Step into the woolly world of The Sheep Detectives for an adventure like no other. In this witty, new breed of mystery, George (Hugh Jackman) is a shepherd who reads detective novels to his beloved sheep every night, assuming they can’t possibly understand.

As they follow the clues and investigate human suspects, they prove that even sheep can be brilliant crime-solvers.

Join us in The Garden to meet the kindest creatures on earth and experience the story brought to life at The Grounds in a ewe-nique adventure for the whole family!
