The Heart of Kent Hospice is reauctioning one of its Shaun the Sheep art trail sculptures.

The cartoon sculpture, called Sheep-nanigans, was designed by artist Sadie Williams and inspired by the work of writer and illustrator Ralph Steadman.

The Heart of Kent Hospice art trail was unveiled in June 2024 and 52 of the sculptures were auctioned in September 2024.

A spokesperson from the hospice said they are "thrilled" to be reauctioning this "beautiful piece which we hope will raise thousands".

The auction will close on 5 December 2024.

All money raised will be added to the £265,250 total reached from the previous charity auction.

Mr Steadman has written and illustrated children's books since the 1960s including Quasimodo Mouse, Again!, and Alice in Wonderland. Sheep-nanigans includes many of these characters.
