A crowd of claymation sheep, a girl with dark hair, and a dog in an elf hat are packed into a glowing red sleigh decorated with swirls and colourful fairy lights. The sleigh is pulled by a grinning wooden reindeer as it soars through a deep blue, cloudy night sky dotted with stars. One sheep dangles from a string of lights in the upper left, and a snow-covered farmhouse and fields lie below.

About Colour Box: Shaun The Sheep - The Flight Before Christmas

Fresh off his latest Halloween adventure, everyone's favourite woolly troublemaker returns to the festive season in Shaun the Sheep: The Flight Before Christmas. Shaun’s excitement turns to panic when a farmhouse raid to score bigger stockings leads to Timmy going missing. Can the flock mount a daring rescue mission before he becomes someone else’s Christmas present?

One festive film simply isn't enough, so we're making it a double bill with an extra half-hour mystery film!

The drop-in workshop begins at 10am in the Ryland Studio and the relaxed film screening begins at 11am in the Cinema. Tickets are also available to see the film without the workshop.

  2. A nun in a cream habit with a black cross on her scapular kneels at the center of a stark white-tiled chapel, gazing upward with a rapt expression, a long rosary hanging in front of her. Rows of kneeling nuns in matching habits flank a tiled altar topped with a crucifix and six candles, while window shadows form a grid across the floor and walls.

  3. A shirtless, bloodied young man leans exhausted against a large leather punching bag, resting his forehead against it with eyes closed and mouth open, breathing heavily. His hand is wrapped in a white boxing hand wrap stained with blood, gripping the edge of the bag. Streaks of blood run down his cheek, neck, chest, and torso. The background is softly blurred, suggesting a dim gym or boxing training space.
