We’re so excited to welcome a special visitor to The Oracle this summer… Shaun the Sheep! From 5 July to 31 August, 12 larger-than-life Shaun sculptures will be dotted across Reading town centre, including several right here at The Oracle.

It’s all part of Find the Flock – a free, family-friendly trail in partnership with Visit Reading, Wild in Art and Aardman. Each sculpture is uniquely designed by artists from across the region, creating a colourful celebration of creativity right in the heart of our town.

Whether you're a Shaun superfan or simply looking for something fun to do with the family, this trail is the perfect summer holiday activity, and completely free to enjoy.

Taking part is easy – and did we mention it’s free? Just grab a map from one of these key collection points:

• The Oracle

• Broad Street Mall

• Reading Station Tourist Information Stand

Or download and print your own map at home here.

Follow the trail, snap some fun photos, and see if you can spot the hidden letters on 11 of the sculptures. Unscramble them to solve the mystery word and enter the competition, there are fab prizes up for grabs!

Make it a summer day out

As you follow the trail, why not make a day of it at The Oracle? With riverside dining, sweet treats, and shops the whole family can enjoy, it’s the perfect place to pause, refuel and keep the adventure going.

Let’s make this summer one to remember. See you on the trail!
