Free theatrical family fun in Salisbury this weekend

Thursday, 5 August 2021 01:00

Have you ever wondered what it is like to be a sheep or a shepherd? Here’s your chance to find out.

Flock, the interactive sheep herding show, is coming to the grounds of Salisbury Arts Centre this Saturday (7th August).

The sheep are on the loose, and only the shepherds and their hapless sheepdog Patch can prevent certain chaos.

Can you help to navigate the silly sheep back into their pen? With your shepherds crook in hand and excitable four-legged friend by your side, it’s your turn to dazzle the crowd.

Flock draws on age-old traditions of playground and street games, encouraging people to play together over wide spaces.

Performances will take place at 11am, 1pm and 3pm. Tickets to the show are free and can be reserved here. Walk-ups will be accepted on the day but booking in advance is recommended to avoid disappointment.
