Free Big Screen Family Film Returns

Have an ‘Ewe-nique’ Family Day Out with Free Film in Cathedral Square

Families are invited to flock to Peterborough city centre for a baa-rilliant afternoon of fun as Peterborough Positive and Peterborough Cathedral team up for a free big screen showing of Shaun the Sheep on Sunday 17th August 2025, from 4pm, in Cathedral Square.

This much-loved animated film will delight audiences of all ages with its woolly mayhem and is part of the celebrations for Shaun the Sheep: Find the Flock trail, Peterborough Cathedral’s summer exhibition.

Kicking off on 28th July, the trail features 12 super-silly, super-colourful Shaun the Sheep statues popping up across the city centre, along with a digital A.R. trail packed with surprises for families to discover.

Pep Cipriano, Chief Operating Officer at Peterborough Positive, said:

“We’re delighted to bring our big screen family film back to Cathedral Square following the success of last year’s event. It promises to be a brilliant day of family-friendly entertainment, with just the right amount of mischief! "The cathedral’s Shaun the Sheep exhibition is fantastic, and I know it will be huge hit with families, and the addition of our free big screen film is the perfect way to extend the fun.”

The event will also include free face painting and a glitter bar, to transform little ones into their favourite animals and add some extra sparkle to this sheep-tacular afternoon of fun in the city centre.

Seating is available on the day on a first-come, first-served basis, so families are encouraged to arrive early, or bring their own chairs.
